leg.state.nv.usNevada AB 73 — AI disclosures in election communications

Why this status

Nevada AB 73 took effect on January 1, 2026, codified in NRS 294A. The law requires election-related communications that contain synthetic media to carry a clear and conspicuous disclosure — and gives any candidate who appears in a non-disclosed manipulated communication the right to seek a court order stopping its distribution.

What this means

The rule is squarely about election communications — those from candidates, campaign committees, political action committees, and party-sponsored committees. It doesn't reach synthetic media used in entertainment, satire, or parody.
Streaming services, broadcasters, and internet service providers are generally excluded from coverage — the rule applies to the entities sending the campaign communication, not to the platforms carrying it.
A clear and conspicuous disclosure that the content has been manipulated is the practical compliance path — that label is what shifts a communication from likely-prohibited to likely-protected.

What to verify next

Read AB 73 (NRS 294A) on the Nevada Legislature site for the exact "clear and conspicuous" disclosure standard and the candidate's injunctive path.
If you're concerned about a deepfake outside an election context, this Nevada rule isn't the relevant one. Federal protections and the platform's own content policy are where to look first.
