Strengthen online privacy protections for children and teenagers by limiting how companies collect and use their personal data.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act?
The Senate passed S. 836 on March 15, 2026, and the bill now moves to the House for consideration. House leadership decides when to schedule a floor vote, which serves as the primary constraint for the bill. History shows that bills passing one chamber often fail to become law, as the House does not always take up legislation sent over by the Senate.
