in the creation of the resource bank.
The bill requires the department to expand local student wellness
programs to include programs that address the impacts of problematic
technology use on the mental and physical well-being of Colorado youth.
The bill requires a social media platform to display a pop-up
warning to a user who is under the age of 18 when the user:
! Has spent one hour on social media platforms in a 24-hour
period; and
! Is on a social media platform between the hours of 10 p.m.
and 6 a.m.
The warning must state that data shows that youth who spend more than
3 hours per day on social media double the risk of experiencing poor
mental health outcomes, including anxiety and depression symptoms. The
warning must include links to resources on the platform for setting screen
time limits and links to the health-effect data.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:1
SECTION 1. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly2
finds and declares that:3
(a) On May 23, 2023, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy4
released a Social Media and Youth Mental Health advisory to recognize5
the growing impact of social media on youth mental health and6
well-being as a significant public health challenge that requires7
immediate awareness and action;8
(b) The advisory includes recommendations for policymakers to9
address this issue, including to "support the development,10
implementation, and evaluation of digital and media literacy curricula in11
schools and within academic standards" and "ensure technology12
companies share data relevant to the health impacts of their platforms";13
(c) In the United States, up to 95% of youth ages 13 to 17 report14
using social media platforms, and a third of youth report using social15
media "almost constantly";16
1136-2- (d) A study of youth in the United States ages 12 to 15 found that1
youth who spend three or more hours a day on social media had double2
the risk of experiencing poor mental health outcomes, including3
experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety. As of 2021, the4
average time spent on social media for this age group is three-and-a-half5
hours a day, with one in four youth spending five or more hours a day on6
the platforms, and one in seven spending seven or more hours a day on7
social media.8
(e) A systematic review of 42 studies on the effects of excessive9
social media use found a consistent relationship between social media use10
and poor sleep quality, reduced sleep duration, sleep difficulties, and11
depression among youth;12
(f) Social media sites are designed to maximize user engagement,13
which can encourage excessive social media use and behavioral14
dysregulation. Youth undergo critical periods of brain development, and15
social media exposure and frequent use may be associated with distinct16
changes in the developing brain, including overstimulation of the17
amygdala, triggering pathways similar to those in individuals with18
substance use or gambling addictions.19
(g) The 2020 Comprehensive Health Academic Standards in20
Colorado include standards for comprehensive health and physical21
education, among them the importance of identifying and managing the22
risk and the impacts of modern technology and social media on students'23
physical and personal wellness;24
(h) Understanding more about how technology and health25
intersect can help solve certain societal problems and improve the mental26
and physical health of Coloradans. Providing free resources educators can27
1136
-3- use while teaching comprehensive health will help educators meet the1
essential skills outlined in the 2020 Comprehensive Health Academic2
Standards.3
(i) At the federal level, legislation and reforms to improve social4
media platforms that youth access are slow-moving and do not meet the5
demands and fast-moving nature of social media; and6
(j) States recognize the growing impact of social media and7
problematic technology use on youth mental health and the importance of8
enacting legislation to address those concerns. States can exercise9
leadership in this area rather than waiting for slow-moving federal10
legislation to do so.11
(2) The general assembly therefore declares that it is a matter of12
statewide concern to provide research-based education and interventions,13
including resources on the effects of social media use on brain14
development, how to mitigate the risks associated with social media use,15
and how to maintain well-being while interacting in online environments,16
to help youth make informed decisions on responsible social media use.17
