As introduced: - Requires producers of deceptive deepfake media intended for online distribution to include disclosures identifying the media as altered, such as digital watermarks, on-screen text, or verbal statements. - Exempts certain media where a reasonable person would not mistake the content as authentic, such as parody, satire, and fictional programming. - Makes a violation of the disclosure requirements an unlawful practice under the state's consumer fraud act. - Establishes a third-degree crime for knowingly failing to include the required disclosures in specific circumstances, such as when the media is intended to harass a person with sexual content, interfere in an election, or commit fraud.
