FPF COPPA 2.0 Redline

On March 4, 2025, Senator Markey reintroduced the Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA 2.0), which was referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation for consideration. COPPA 2.0 would amend the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), initially passed in 1998 to provide protections for teens.

On June 25, 2025, the Senate Commerce Committee held a mark-up hearing in which the Committee members favorably reported the bill with two amendments – one from Senate Commerce Chairman Cruz and one from Senator Fetterman. Given that COPPA 2.0 amends an existing statute, FPF has created this comparison document which provides a redline between the COPPA statute as it currently stands, the amendments proposed by COPPA 2.0, and the newly adopted Cruz and Fetterman amendments.
