HB459

Provides relative to the use of artificial intelligence in political campaigns

Complete·6/9/26

Louisiana HB459 mandates disclosure on political materials when they contain images or likenesses of candidates created using artificial intelligence.

Louisiana HB459 amends existing law to require disclosure on political materials when they contain images or likenesses of candidates created using artificial intelligence. The disclosure must appear in the same manner as other required disclosures. The bill also increases the criminal fine for violations from $2,000 to $10,000 and applies the same penalties to violations of the new disclosure requirement. The law aims to protect the electoral process by ensuring the public is not misled by AI-generated images or likenesses of candidates.
