HB 2559 — Relating To The Crime Of Corrupt Political Advertising; Regulating The Use; Of Generative Artificial Intelligence; Requiring Disclosure That An Image Or Speech Has Been Manipulated ; Making It A Crime To Create False Representations Of Candidate

HB 2559 aims to criminalize the creation of false representations of candidates or state officials in campaign media using generative artificial intelligence. It requires disclosure when an image or speech has been manipulated and shifts liability for such content to the advertiser rather than broadcasters or media platforms. The bill focuses on preventing AI-generated disinformation in political advertising. It was ultimately stricken from the calendar by Rule 1507 and did not pass.
