What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "SMART Kids Act," directs the Surgeon General to create recommendations for screen time limits for children. The goal is to promote healthy development and well-being through evidence-informed guidelines. The Surgeon General must create separate recommendations for six different age groups ranging from 0 to 18 years old. These recommendations may also include qualitative factors, such as whether specific types of screen time are less harmful. The process must be coordinated with an independent entity that has no financial or other conflicts of interest. Finally, the Surgeon General must publish these recommendations online and submit a report to Congress within one year.
