In plain language

California's Cal. Fam. Code §§6650–6656 (SB 764) applies to children under 18. Once a child appears in 30% or more of a creator's compensated content over a 30-day period, the creator must set aside 65% of the child's share of compensation into a trust for that child.

Notes

  • Set-aside formula: (minor's share of paid minutes) x (month's total compensation) x 0.65.

Open items before this is fully reliable

  • IMPORTANT CORRECTION from the original secondary-source data: the 30%-threshold / trust mechanism does NOT come from AB 1880. AB 1880 only adds 'content creator' (someone in a direct contractual relationship with third parties) to the pre-existing 1939 Coogan Act categories, leaving that statute's original flat 15%-of-earnings trust untouched — a different, narrower mechanism for contracted minors, not modeled here (out of scope for the family-vlogger wedge this product targets first per BUILD-SPEC.md section 1).
  • The threshold and set-aside are evaluated per calendar month ('at any time during a given month'), not a rolling 30-day window — the engine's rolling-window model is a simplification for this statute.
  • Two more eligibility prongs are not modeled: the minor's views/compensation must also meet a platform threshold or $0.10/view, AND the vlogger's own compensation for that month must be at least $1,250.
  • hasPrivateRightOfAction and recordsRequired could not be confirmed from the text read in this pass — needs a follow-up check, left as false (not confirmed absent) rather than guessed true.
