AI Summary

This bill amends New Mexico's Campaign Reporting Act to add requirements for political advertisements. It defines "materially deceptive media" as content created using artificial intelligence that misrepresents a person's speech or conduct. The bill requires disclaimers on such ads and makes it a crime to distribute materially deceptive media within 90 days of an election if the intent is to mislead voters. The bill also allows enforcement through civil and criminal actions by the Attorney General, district attorneys, depicted individuals, affected candidates, and voter advocacy organizations.
