HB 3299 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Crimes and punishments; creating and disseminating a digitization or synthetic media; making certain acts unlawful; emergency.

HB 3299 prohibits creating and sharing synthetic media (such as deepfakes) that falsely depict a person's name, image, voice, or likeness without their written consent, unless used for news, commentary, satire, or parody. It requires political advertisements using such media during election periods (45 days before elections) to clearly disclose that the content is synthetic, with violations punishable as misdemeanors. For non-political use, creating synthetic media without consent is a misdemeanor, but becomes a felony if it causes over $25,000 in financial harm or is used for extortion. Victims can also seek civil damages, including legal fees, for violations.
