Online Add-on Transaction Fee Youth Service Enterprise
Summary
Colorado HB26-1418, introduced April 20, 2026, proposes creating a Youth Mental Health Services Access Enterprise funded by transaction fees on online gaming add-on purchases. The bill targets social media platforms that provide online gaming services, products, and features to young people, requiring them to impose a per-transaction fee and remit proceeds to the new enterprise. The enterprise would use fee revenue to operate and fund mental health programs serving youth.
“Concerning the provision of services to young people, and, in connection therewith, requiring certain social media platforms that provide online gaming services, products, and features to young people to impose a fee on each add-on transaction and remit the fee to the youth mental health services access enterprise, which enterprise is created in the bill, and directing the enterprise to use the fee revenue to operate and fund certain programs that provide mental health services to young people.”
Social media and technology platforms that operate online gaming services, products, or features accessible to young users in Colorado should track this bill as it moves through the legislative process. While fee rates and specific compliance mechanics will be defined in later committee action, the bill establishes a new regulatory obligation around online gaming monetization that could require system changes to track and remit per-transaction fees.
What changed
HB26-1418 would establish a new Youth Mental Health Services Access Enterprise and impose a mandatory add-on transaction fee on social media platforms that provide online gaming services to young people in Colorado. The fee applies to each individual add-on purchase within online gaming products and features. All fee revenue must be remitted to the newly created enterprise, which is directed to use funds for mental health programs serving young people.
Social media platforms offering online gaming services, products, or features to Colorado youth should monitor this bill as it advances through the House Finance Committee. If enacted, affected platforms would need to implement fee collection and remittance systems. The scope of affected platforms and fee rates will be determined in subsequent committee action.
