Political Advertisement AI Disclosure

Public Act 263 addresses disclosure for political advertising generated in whole or substantially by artificial intelligence. The public act table confirms the February 13, 2024 effective date. Related Acts 264 and 265 address definitions and deepfake penalties and need separate final-text review.

Analysis · October 5, 2026

Michigan’s disclosure provision sits alongside companion legislation. A disclosure record should not be used as a substitute for analyzing the separate deepfake offense, its timing, exceptions, and remedies. Direct act retrieval was unsuccessful in this update, so the earlier provision verification date is retained.

Coverage still under review

Retrieve Acts 263–265 and current election code, map exceptions and penalties, and review later amendments, bills, guidance, and courts. Selected current and concluded bills, agency rules, enforcement, and litigation have not been comprehensively screened. An omitted measure is not a finding that no relevant law exists.

Scope and method

This update expands the existing selected-law baseline using official legislative texts, codification, bill histories, and agency material. It distinguishes the act’s effective date from later duties and does not infer implementation from the passage of a deadline.

The analysis date is not a new verification date for every provision. Earlier dates remain where final text or date evidence was inaccessible. Only the separately identified in-force records enter the national export; proposed, future, and uncertain measures are excluded.
