TABLED FOR HOUSE CALENDAR
Summary
The bill makes it illegal to share images, audio or video that falsely depict a person’s speech or actions during the 90‑day period before an election or primary, if the sharer knows it is fake or acts recklessly and does so without the person’s consent to influence the race. Exceptions are allowed for news outlets and publishers that attach mandated disclosures and, when the media is derived from existing material, a citation to the original source. Violations are treated as a Class C felony.
