What Michigan Campaign Deepfake Disclosure Law - Public Acts 263-265 of 2023 (Effective February 13, 2024) requires
Michigan Public Acts 263, 264, and 265 of 2023 were signed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer on November 30, 2023 and took effect February 13, 2024. The Acts amend the Michigan Campaign Finance Act and the Michigan Penal Code to regulate AI-generated and manipulated media in political campaigns. Public Act 264 prohibits a person, committee, or other entity from distributing materially deceptive media of a candidate or office holder for purposes of harming the reputation or electoral prospects of the candidate or influencing the outcome of an election unless the media includes a clear and conspicuous disclosure. The disclosure must state that the media has been manipulated by technical means and depicts speech or conduct that did not occur. The Acts cover the 90 days immediately preceding an election. Civil remedies include injunctive relief and private rights of action with statutory damages. Criminal penalties apply for knowing violations distributing materially deceptive media within the 90-day window: misdemeanour up to 93 days imprisonment, USD 250 fine, or both for a first violation; felony up to 5 years imprisonment and USD 1000 fine for subsequent violations or violations causing physical injury or death. The Acts are part of a 2023-2024 wave of state campaign deepfake disclosure laws including California AB 730 (2019), Texas SB 751 (2019), Minnesota HF 1370 (2023), Washington SB 5152 (2024), and California AB 2655 (2024).
