Summary

The bill adds a rule that any advertisement using an AI‑created or heavily altered image, video, or voice that looks like a health professional to sell a health‑related product must clearly state that the media was generated by AI or that no real provider appears. It applies to anyone who creates such ads and gives the state attorney general, local prosecutors, and the person whose likeness was used the right to bring civil lawsuits. The measure also spells out how the disclosure must appear and provides an exemption when the real health professional consents and agrees with the ad.
