Well, the markup is officially on the House E&C Committee schedule. Looks like they chose the following bills:
-Children and Teen's Online Privacy Protection Act (aka COPPA 2.0)
-App Store Accountability Act

The KIDS Act is an amalgam of the following bills:
-SCREEN Act

-Safe Social Media Act
-No Fentanyl on Social Media Act

Other notes about the KIDS Act:
-Bill number is "H.R.7757"
-The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is the court that would handle challenges
-Challenges to the KIDS Act as a whole must be made within 90 days of enactment (60 days for specific acts/findings/determinations/etc. made under the bill)
-The House seems to be going through with their version of KOSA (which will no doubt cause conflict with the Senate, who want their version)
-Explicitly forbids doing the following in the bill's name:
A: Censorship of 1st amendment protected speech
B: Weakening/Restricting of COPPA
C: Prevention of the moderation of spam, criminal activity, and security risks.
😱 Weakening/Altering of Section 230
