This legislation represents an important step forward in Congress\u2019 effort to protect children online and hold big tech accountable, while also empowering parents and protecting free speech,\u201d Speaker Johnson said. \u201cI commend Chairman Guthrie for working across the aisle to get this done, and we look forward to working with our Senate counterparts to ensure these essential protections for our children become law.\u201d\n\n\u201cParents should be able to trust that their children are safe online. The KIDS Act takes a focused, commonsense approach to strengthening protections for minors, while giving families more tools to help keep their children safe,\u201d Leader Scalise said. \u201cI applaud Chairman Guthrie and the Energy and Commerce Committee for their leadership in advancing this important legislation. House Republicans will continue fighting for policies that put families first.\"\n\n\u201cCongress has spent years searching for how to best protect children and teens online, and today\u2019s overwhelming bipartisan vote indicates that we have found our solution. The KIDS Act creates strong protections with new rules for design features, default settings, and kids\u2019 privacy,\u201d Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Guthrie said. \u201cWe want to thank our colleagues for their strong vote today to protect kids, empower parents, and hold internet platforms accountable.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-30T06:29:10Z", "2026-06-30T06:30:42Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://mikejohnson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2913"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8391099981963634, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
