WASHINGTON, Sept. 17, 2024 – A major House committee is meeting tomorrow and a few communications bills are at the top of the agenda. The panel will take up two internet safety bills and a third designed to require AM radios in new cars.

The panel will consider the Kids Online Safety Act, or KOSA. 

Sponsored by several lawmakers, including Rep. Kathy Castor, D-Fl., the legislation aims to protect children and teens up to 17 by outlawing manipulative marketing, the amplification of harmful content, and design features that threaten young people online.
