Florida CS/HB 919 (Chapter 2024-126) has been on the books since July 1, 2024. The law requires political advertisements and electioneering communications that use AI-generated content to carry a specified disclaimer, and creates both criminal and civil penalties for covered communications that omit the disclosure.

• The rule covers AI-generated content in paid political advertising, electioneering communications, and related materials — it doesn't extend to entertainment, social posts by private individuals, or commercial advertising.
• Both criminal and civil penalty tiers apply for covered communications that fail to carry the required disclaimer. Carrying a clear disclosure is the practical compliance path.
• There is no broad statewide rule here for AI-generated media involving minors or private individuals outside the political-advertising context. Florida's separate statutes on those topics are where coverage would come from.

• Read CS/HB 919 on the Florida Senate's bill page to see the exact disclaimer wording and the penalty tiers.
• If you're concerned about a deepfake outside political advertising — in a family or school context, or one involving minors — that's a separate rule track. Federal protections and the platform's own policy are where to look first.
