Known asKids Off Social Media Act

What’s happening with Kids Off Social Media Act?

The Kids Off Social Media Act is represented by S. 278, which has been on the Senate legislative calendar since June 29, 2025. The Senate must now hold a floor vote to advance the bill, but the binding constraint is that Senate leadership determines the schedule for all floor time. While reaching the calendar is a significant milestone that most bills do not achieve, the lack of action since June 29, 2025, shows that securing a final vote remains a difficult challenge.
