Child Safety: Background Checks for Entertainment Workers
The Kids Safety on Set Act of 2026 was sent to the House Committee on the Judiciary on September 3, 2026. The bill has not moved since that date and remains under committee review. Members of the House committee must decide whether to hold a vote on the bill before it can move forward.
The bill has support from both Democrats and Republicans, which helps its chances, but it is still in the early stages of the lawmaking process.

Anyone with a past conviction for violence, sex offenses, stalking, or crimes against minors would be barred from jobs on entertainment productions that involve supervising or working closely with children. The background check must be redone before every new project, meaning a disqualifying record could permanently close off entire categories of entertainment work, even for people who completed sentences years ago.
