SB 1183 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to synthetic media

SB 1183 prohibits creators from distributing "deceptive and fraudulent deepfakes" (AI-generated synthetic media falsely depicting candidates or misleading voters about voting) within 18 weeks of an election. Creators must include clear, visible disclosures (e.g., "This video was generated by AI") for non-deceptive synthetic media, with specific size and duration requirements for visual content. The bill exempts news organizations broadcasting in bona fide newscasts with authenticity disclosures, satire/parody, and platforms hosting user content under federal law. Violations carry penalties ranging from class B misdemeanors to $5 million civil fines for repeat offenses.
