California's new child influencer laws expand protections for children who perform in online content. Effective January 1, 2025, content creators who feature minors in at least 30 percent of their content must deposit 65 percent of the minor's gross earnings into a trust account for when they reach adulthood. Child influencers are now included within the definition of "child performers" who receive earnings protections under California's Coogan Law.
