App Store Accountability Act (AB962 / SB937) · AB962 / SB937

Vetoed — Passed the legislature but was vetoed. · App store · binds app stores, developers

Ages: Under 18 (minors), with age brackets typical of App Store Accountability Acts

Requires: Would have required app store providers to collect and verify age-category information for Wisconsin users, classify users into age brackets, link a minor's account to a parent account, and obtain parental consent for app downloads/in-app purchases by minors; imposed corresponding duties on app developers. Created Wis. Stat. s. 100.85 with a penalty. Did not become law.

Litigation: None — the bill never became law, so there is no statute to challenge or enjoin.

Primary source

Social Media Age Verification / Parental Consent Act (AB963 / SB936) · AB963 / SB936

Vetoed — Passed the legislature but was vetoed. · Social media · binds platforms, operators

Ages: Under 18, unemancipated minors

Requires: Would have imposed on large social media platforms (>= $1B annual revenue) duties toward Wisconsin unemancipated minors (under 18): use reasonable means to estimate account-holder age, obtain verifiable parental consent for minor accounts, and impose design/content restrictions. Did not become law.

Litigation: None — the bill never became law.

Primary source

Also on the books (out of scope): Internet Age Verification (AB105 / SB130) — adult-content / 'material harmful to — out-of-scope mandates (like adult-content age-gates) are tracked separately and don't set this state's status.

Federal · COPPAapplies here too

Regardless of state law, COPPA governs personal information collected from children under 13: notice, verifiable parental consent, data minimization, and — under the 2025 amended Rule — limits on retention and third-party sharing.

How Wisconsin compares

Not legal advice. I build products for a living; I'm not a lawyer. Compiled from primary sources and reviewed monthly as part of the State Children's Privacy Law Tracker; AI-assisted research, verified against each law's official source — but laws and injunctions change fast, so confirm the latest before relying on it.
