The proposed bill aims to address the issue of deepfake visual material of a sexual nature by creating a new criminal offense known as the unlawful distribution of deepfake visual material. It defines "deepfake visual material" as any photograph, image, video, or other visual depiction that is generated or modified using technology to falsely represent a person's appearance, voice, or conduct, and that appears authentic to a reasonable person. The bill also establishes that a person commits this offense if they knowingly distribute such material depicting another identifiable person in a state of nudity or engaging in sexual conduct without consent.

The penalties for unlawful distribution of deepfake visual material are outlined in the bill, categorizing a first offense as a Class A misdemeanor and any subsequent offenses as a Class D felony. This legislation seeks to protect individuals from the unauthorized and harmful use of deepfake technology in a sexual context, thereby enhancing legal recourse against such violations.
