On August 11, Governor Sherrill signed A4015, the New Jersey Age-Appropriate Design Code (NJAADC). The law, effective September 1, 2027, imposes safety defaults, bans dark patterns, and creates a private right of action. It applies to online services meeting revenue or data‑processing thresholds and includes enforcement under the Consumer Fraud Act.
Why it matters: The NJAADC introduces comprehensive safety‑by‑design rules for minors online, setting a new national benchmark for age‑appropriate design.
