HB 4294 would regulate platforms that distribute software applications for mobile devices, particularly focusing on age verification and parental consent for minors. It would require app stores to verify users' ages, categorize them into age groups, and obtain parental consent before minors can download or purchase applications. The bill also mandates clear display of app ratings, requires app developers to assign and provide age ratings, and establishes penalties for non-compliance. The Texas Attorney General would be responsible for enforcing these provisions​.
