This measure did not pass and binds nobody; what follows is what it would have required.
Would have created a property right for every individual in their own name, likeness and voice, and civil liability for a person or entity that, without consent, creates or uses a digital depiction or digital voice replica, defined to include an image, video or audio recording created in whole or in part using digital technology, including artificial intelligence, that realistically represents an individual in a manner in which the individual did not actually appear, perform or speak.
Statutory damages of $50,000 per violation, or actual damages and profits if greater, applied to one category of violation, and $5,000 per violation, or actual damages and profits if greater, applied to another. Passed the Senate as amended on February 11, 2026, and died in the House Judiciary A Committee on March 3, 2026, the third consecutive session in which similar legislation has failed to reach the Governor's desk.
