Starting next year, child influencers can sue if earnings aren’t set aside, says new Illinois law

  • Illinois has become the first state in the US to pass a law that ensures child social media influencers are compensated for their work. The law will go into effect on July 1, 2024.
  • The rise of social media has given children new opportunities to earn a profit, but many parents have been keeping the money for themselves. The law aims to protect child influencers from exploitation.
  • The Illinois law will entitle child influencers to a percentage of earnings based on their appearances in monetized online content. Vloggers will be responsible for maintaining records and setting aside earnings for the child in a trust account.
