Here are the details:
Senate Bill 3024 would prohibit the sales of video games that use monitization or loot boxes to anyone under the age of 21. Monitization in the sense that you use real world money to buy item or currency to then use on a loot box/random reward.
Senate Bill 3025 would require publishers to publish warning labels that their games have random monetized rewards, disclose probability rates, and these warnings need to be applied to physical as well as digital copies of each game.
House Bill 2727 is an extension of Senate Bill 3025. It has been passed in the House and will go before the Senate. Depending on the language used, it will either move forward and SB 3025 will be killed, or vice-versa.
If these bills are finalized and passed at the last stage, the rules would go in effect in 2050 (I know, that's a really long way away), but it would be a start in trying to get the industry to better regulate loot boxes. The start date can change before the laws go into effect. It's customary to put an extended end-date to ensure conversation takes place from all parties involved.
