## Summary

**This bill would create a** **mandatory mental health warning label on covered social and anonymous-content platforms**. It would require visible, hourly-renewing warnings that point users to federal help and set federal and state enforcement rules. - Users: People in the United States who access covered platforms would see a mental-health warning each time they use the site; the label stays until they exit or acknowledge harm and, if they continue, reappears every hour. The label must warn of potential harms and provide access to federal resources including the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. - Platform providers: Covered platform providers would have to display conspicuous labels that cannot be shown only as a hyperlink or hidden in terms, and users could not disable them except as the law allows. The Federal Trade Commission, with the Surgeon General, would write rules for the label within 180 days and the law would take effect one year after enactment. - Enforcement and states: Violations would be enforced by the FTC as unfair or deceptive acts or practices and states could bring parens patriae suits for civil penalties. Penalties would be calculated by multiplying either days of noncompliance or the number of affected end users by the statutory maximum civil penalty adjusted for inflation.
