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.
