Bill > SB131

This bill amends Kentucky law to define key terms related to electioneering communications, such as "electioneering communication," "information content provider," and "interactive computer service." It creates a new cause of action for candidates whose appearance, action, or speech is altered through the use of "synthetic media" in an electioneering communication. The bill establishes an affirmative defense if the electioneering communication includes a clear and conspicuous disclosure, and it limits liability to the sponsor of the communication, rather than the medium disseminating it, except in certain circumstances. The bill also encourages courts to expedite determinations under this new law, and declares an emergency exists to protect candidates from fraudulent misrepresentations.
