An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in primary and election expenses, further providing for advertising.

HB 486 bans the use of artificially generated voices (such as deepfakes) in election advertising for candidates or ballot questions in Pennsylvania. It directly affects candidates, political committees, parties, and their treasurers, who must personally pay any fines for violations (not from campaign funds). Violating this rule is a misdemeanor punishable by up to $1,000 in fines or two years in jail. The Secretary of the Commonwealth must also publish a public list of violators on the state's website.
