Governor of Connecticut
We can no longer wait for Washington, D.C. to do the right thing and enact protections over these digital tools that give parents more control—it is time for the states to take action. This bill strikes a good balance between protecting children, ensuring workers are being treated fairly, and promoting innovation.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote is about enacting protections over AI/digital tools, giving parents more control, and protecting children, which is directly on the same issue as requiring safeguards for AI chatbots to protect minors. It strongly signals support for that kind of policy, even though it is framed as state action rather than Congress. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-mini-2026-03-17 · 34min ago
