This bill would require the Federal Communications Commission to create a new content warning label for children's television programming that depicts, discusses, or promotes gender identity, gender transition, transgender identity, or non-binary identity. The FCC would have 90 days after the bill's enactment to determine whether the television industry has voluntarily added such a descriptor to its existing parental rating system. If the industry has not done so voluntarily, the FCC must establish and enforce mandatory labeling requirements for children's programs rated TV-Y, TV-Y7, or TV-G, and ensure the descriptor works with V-chip parental control technology. The bill explicitly states that nothing in it should be interpreted as banning or censoring any television programming. This legislation affects television networks, streaming services, and other video distributors that air children's content, as well as parents and families who use parental control systems to manage their children's viewing.
