As amended 3/23/2026: - Clarifies that a voice or likeness includes a digital replica in regards to prohibitions on use without consent, including for employers. - Removes provisions establishing a rebuttable presumption that the failure to obtain consent from an employee for the use of a photo or likeness incidentally used in an advertisement was not a knowing use of the employee's photo or likeness. - Clarifies that false impersonation includes the use of a digital replica with the intent to impersonate. - The original bill was a shell bill related to the Contractors State License Law, but the 3/23/2026 amendment made substantive amendments.
