 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 5346

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 February 13, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. ROZIC -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Consumer Affairs and Protection

 AN ACT to amend the general business law and the mental hygiene law, in
 relation to requiring warning labels on addictive social media plat-
 forms

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative intent. On June 17th, 2024, US Surgeon General
 2 Vivek H. Murthy called for warning labels on social media platforms due
 3 to the "significant mental health harms" such platforms pose to young
 4 users. The Surgeon General had previously found, in a landmark public
 5 health advisory issued a year prior, that adolescents aged 12 - 15 who
 6 spend more than three hours a day on social media faced double their
 7 risk of anxiety and depression - yet as of summer 2023, average daily
 8 use for this cohort was 4.8 hours. The Surgeon General further found
 9 that social media companies were exploiting young users at one of the
 10 most vulnerable periods of their lives, while their "identities and
 11 self-worth are still forming," and they are "especially susceptible to
 12 social pressures, peer opinions, and peer comparison." T
