Vermont Passes Elections Bill Regulating Synthetic Media

The Vermont General Assembly passed Senate Bill 23, which requires the disclosure of deceptive and fraudulent election-related synthetic media within 90 days of an election. A disclosure must be included in the synthetic media stating “this media has been manipulated or generated by digital technology and depicts speech or conduct that did not occur.” The bill was signed by Gov. Phil Scott and is effective immediately.
