Why this status

Rooted Reality reviewed New York Legislature materials on the FY 2024–25 budget deepfake provisions and the 2025–2026 deepfake-election bills. Public trackers showed enacted budget language and active bills, but we couldn't verify any of them against a stable New York primary source on the May 5, 2026 review. No enforceable rule shows on this card today until we can read the enacted text directly.

What this means

New York has no verified state-level deepfake rule on this card today, even though public reporting points to budget-bill language and active 2025–2026 measures. Treat the gap as a verification gap, not a finding about New York's actual posture.
If the budget provisions and active bills are enacted as reported, the next verified review will move this card to a colored status and surface the scope and effective date.
Federal protections (intimate-image laws, election-fraud statutes, CSAM rules) and a depicted person's existing civil claims still apply regardless of New York's state-level posture.

What to verify next

Open the New York State Senate and Assembly bill-search tools and look up the FY 2024–25 enacted budget bill plus the 2025–2026 deepfake-election measures — enacted text and signing memos are recorded there.
For content concerns today, the platform's own policy and federal complaint paths (FBI IC3 for fraud, NCMEC for content involving minors) are the active levers.
