Demi Lovato Champions Law to Protect Child Influencers From Financial Abuse

Demi Lovato met with California Gov. Gavin Newsom as he signed two new bills into law designed to offer financial protection to child influencers.

The second, AB 1880, expands a decades-old legislation called the Coogan Law, which requires employers of child entertainers to place 15 percent of their earnings in trust accounts. “I’m grateful to Governor Newsom for taking action with this update to the Coogan Law that will ensure children featured on social media are granted agency when they come of age and are properly compensated for the use of their name and likeness.” “A lot has changed since Hollywood’s early days, but here in California, our laser focus on protecting kids from exploitation remains the same,” Newsom said in a statement.
