HB 2862 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Prohibits digital impersonation of a person and provides for injunctive relief

HB 2862 prohibits creating AI-generated videos or audio that falsely impersonate a person to deceive others, excluding artistic expression like satire. It allows any resident of the state to seek a court order within two years if their likeness is used without consent in deceptive digital content, with expedited relief (within 2 days) available for severe harms like sexual content or reputational damage. The law protects platforms from liability for user content and requires proof that the impersonation was deceptive and not consensual. It does not apply to artistic works, public figures in most cases, or content that’s clearly labeled as fake.
