In plain language

The bill updates laws regarding the use of digital replicas of individuals' likenesses and voices.

This bill clarifies that digital replicas, which are realistic electronic representations, are included under existing laws about personal likenesses. It also removes a presumption regarding consent for employees' likenesses in advertisements and expands the definition of impersonation to include digital replicas.

What this means for you
