Crimes and offenses; crime of distribution of materially deceptive media established, permanent injunctive relief authorized

Summary

The bill makes it illegal to share AI‑created images, audio, or video that falsely shows a person saying or doing something they never did, unless a clear disclaimer is included. A first offense is treated as a misdemeanor and a repeat offense within five years becomes a felony, and the Attorney General or the misrepresented person can ask a court for a permanent order to stop the distribution. It also protects news outlets, satire, and platforms that act without knowing the content is false.
