Political ads created or distributed using AI would have to carry a clear disclosure label.

What it does

Amends Election Code to require qualified political advertisements created or distributed using AI to include clear and conspicuous disclosure. Provides for civil penalties.

Analyst read

AI-political-advertising disclosure was bipartisan but stalled at the 2025 deadline and has had no action in 2026. Likely overtaken by federal pre-emption posture and by deepfake-specific bills filed elsewhere; will need a re-file in the next GA to revive.
