Why this status

Rooted Reality reviewed Vermont legislative materials on S.23 and related deepfake-election proposals. Public trackers indicated enactment in March 2026, but we couldn't verify it against a stable Vermont primary source on the May 5, 2026 review — so this card stays at no verified rule until we can read the enacted text directly.

What this means

Vermont has no verified state-level deepfake rule on this card today, even though public reporting points to S.23. Treat the gap as a verification gap, not a finding about Vermont's actual posture.
If S.23 is in fact enacted, the next verified review will move this card to a colored status and surface the enacted 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 Vermont's state-level posture.

What to verify next

Open S.23 on the Vermont General Assembly's bill-status page — the Governor's action and the chaptered Act number show there once a bill becomes law.
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.
