The leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee came to an agreement on kids’ safety online, introducing a bipartisan piece of legislation to protect children online after months of negotiations. 

In a June 22 announcement, Committee Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) and Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) “worked across the aisle for many months” and found “common ground on policies to significantly improve the digital environment for kids.”
