HR 5360 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To direct the Federal Trade Commission to develop and make available to the public educational resources for parents, educators, and minors with respect to the safe and responsible use of AI chatbots by minors, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill directs the Federal Trade Commission to create educational resources for parents, educators, and minors about the safe and responsible use of AI chatbots. The resources must be developed within 180 days and should include guidance on identifying safe versus unsafe AI chatbot use, understanding privacy and data collection practices, and best practices for parents supervising minors' use of AI chatbots. The FTC should model these resources on its existing Youville educational program.
