Summary

The bill adds a new law defining “digital replica” and says any contract provision that allows a digital replica to stand in for a person’s performance, lacks a specific description of how the replica will be used, and was not negotiated with legal or union representation, is unenforceable for work fixed on or after Jan. 1 2026. It protects individuals from unknowingly having their voice or likeness used without detailed consent. The rule applies to personal and professional service agreements.
