RELATING TO DEEPFAKES.

SB 1156 makes it a crime to create or distribute a sexually explicit deepfake without the person’s consent. It directly affects victims of non-consensual deepfakes and those who create or share such content. The bill establishes a new criminal offense for distributing these materials, targeting a specific harm without addressing other deepfake uses. The measure is pending before the LBT committee after a public hearing was deferred.
