California's 1999 update to the Coogan Law: a court must order 15 percent of a child performer's gross earnings set aside in a trust the child gets at adulthood. Kid influencers on YouTube are not covered by it.

the court shall require that 15 percent of the minor's gross earnings pursuant to the contract be set aside by the minor's employer in trust, in an account or other savings plan, and preserved for the benefit of the minor in accordance with Section 6753.
