Summary

The bill criminalizes anyone who intentionally distributes a realistic deep‑fake that shows a real person engaging in sexual conduct they never performed, when done without that person’s consent and with the purpose of harassing, intimidating, or harming their reputation. It applies to creators, publishers, sellers, or anyone who disseminates such material, but it does not cover protected speech like satire, news, or clearly labeled fakes. Violations can result in jail time, fines, and civil injunctions.
