SB 217 — Election Code: Defines 'Deep Fake' In The Election Code
SB 217 proposes to define the term 'deep fake' within Louisiana's Election Code. The bill aims to address the use of synthetic media in elections by establishing a legal definition, potentially to prevent the spread of disinformation through AI-generated content. The bill was prefilled and provisionally referred to the Committee on Senate and Governmental Affairs for review.
