It was an honor to join Governor Mikie Sherrill, Speaker Craig J. Coughlin, and many of my Assembly colleagues to see a trio of bills signed into law today designed to address the growing youth mental health crisis and strengthen protections for young people online.
I am proud to sponsor A4013, which became law today, that directs the state Social Media Research Center to research and make recommendations regarding addictive social media behaviors among children and adolescents and examine strategies to reduce those behaviors.
We have a responsibility to keep children safe in our state, and these bills take an important step to protect young people online.
