Summary

The bill adds a new chapter to the Civil Practice and Remedies Code that lets victims sue anyone who knowingly spreads AI‑created media or phishing messages for financial gain, and it lets the attorney general impose daily civil fines. It also creates a new misdemeanor‑to‑felony offense in the Penal Code for the same conduct, with penalties that rise as the stolen value increases. Service providers such as internet platforms, telecoms, and broadcast stations are exempt from liability.
