legislature.ohio.govOhio HB 362 — synthetic media for influencing elections

Why this status

Ohio's Legislature bill page for HB 362 wouldn't complete a TLS handshake for our automated reader on this run, so we couldn't extract any bill text. Without a clean read of the primary source, we won't publish a confidence-graded posture for Ohio deepfakes today. Public reporting points to HB 362 as a measure addressing synthetic media in elections, but the text in front of us is empty.

What this means

Ohio is a state where we know there's a relevant election-deepfake bill on the table but couldn't verify its current standing on this review cycle. Treat "under review" as a candid gap, not a finding about Ohio's actual posture.
HB 362 is a real Ohio General Assembly measure. The link goes to the legitimate state legislature site; only the TLS-secured fetch path was unreliable for our crawler.
We'll republish this card the moment we can verify the bill's text, status, and any enacted scope against a stable source.

What to verify next

Open the HB 362 link in your normal browser — the page shows the current legislative status, committee history, and any companion or successor bills.
The Ohio Secretary of State publishes campaign-finance and election-integrity guidance that would describe how any new synthetic-media rule plays into enforcement in practice.
