The bill amends Chapter 214 of the General Laws by introducing a new section, Section 3A 1/2, which defines "digital replica" as a highly realistic electronic representation of an individual's voice or likeness. This definition encompasses instances where the individual did not perform or appear, or where their performance has been materially altered. The bill clarifies that digital replicas do not include authorized electronic reproductions or remixes of existing works.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that certain provisions in agreements for personal or professional services will be unenforceable if they pertain to the creation and use of a digital replica of the individual, effective for new performances starting January 1, 2026. Specifically, these provisions must lack a reasonably specific description of the intended uses of the digital replica and must not have been negotiated with legal counsel or a labor union representing the individual. The bill ensures that it does not affect other contract provisions or exclusivity grants unrelated to the use of digital replicas.
