HB 2795 makes it illegal to create or share manipulated election-related videos or images intended to deceive voters. Specifically, it targets deep fake videos created within 30 days of an election and altered images shared to influence voting outcomes. The law excludes satirical content like cartoons and minor photo edits (e.g., color adjustments). Creators can avoid penalties by clearly labeling altered images as manipulated. The bill applies only to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025.
