OKLAHOMA CITY – House Rep. Michelle McCane, D-Tulsa, introduced HB 1016 which would provide rights to minors who are involved in Internet content by ensuring they are compensated and can request to remove content in which they appear. 

"This bill would give minors appearing in for profit in online content, a rapidly growing industry, the ability to be compensated for that content and to request to remove that content if they choose,” McCane said. “Minors are not able to give consent for adults to use their image, name, and likeness in online content and do not receive the compensation the adult posting that content gets. This gives some power back to a minor and provides recourse for those who may be exploited."
