AI Summary

This bill defines "synthetic media" as manipulated images, audio, or videos that create a false impression of an individual's appearance, action, or speech. It allows candidates whose synthetic media is used in an electioneering communication to seek injunctive relief and damages. The bill provides an affirmative defense if the synthetic media includes a clear disclosure. It also outlines liability for sponsors and media platforms that disseminate synthetic media without the required disclosure or alter the content. The Public Disclosure Commission is directed to adopt rules to further the purpose of this new chapter in the Revised Code of Washington.
