What it requires

  • Include a disclosure stating that the recording has been manipulated, when a campaign communication includes synthetic media that depicts a candidate's appearance, speech or conduct in a realistic but false way.
  • This duty binds whoever distributes the campaign communication, not only whoever created the synthetic media.
  • An interactive computer service, a bona fide news broadcast, a paid platform, a periodical carrying a corrective statement, and satire or parody are excluded from the duty.

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

A campaign communication that includes synthetic media, an image, audio or video recording of a candidate's appearance, speech or conduct intentionally manipulated with artificial intelligence or similar digital technology to create a realistic but false depiction, must include a disclosure that the recording has been manipulated.

The Secretary of State, and in specified cases the Attorney General, may sue to enjoin a violation, and a court may impose a civil penalty of up to $10,000, which the statute makes the exclusive remedy. Interactive computer services, bona fide news coverage, paid broadcasters, periodicals that carry a corrective statement, and satire or parody are excluded.
