AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the U.S. Surgeon General to develop evidence-informed recommendations on daily screen time limits for children. The Surgeon General must create separate recommendations for six age groups, from birth to age 18, and may also address whether some types of screen time may be less harmful than others. The work must be done with an independent entity that has no financial or other conflict of interest. Within one year of the bill becoming law, the recommendations must be posted on the Department of Health and Human Services website and reported to Congress.
