(a) A person who disseminates a deep fake or enters into a contract or other agreement to disseminate a deep fake is guilty of a crime and may be sentenced as provided in subdivision 3 if the person knows or that acts with reckless disregard about whether the item being disseminated is a deep fake and dissemination: (1) is made without the consent of the depicted individual; (2) is made with the intent to injure a candidate or influence the result of an election; and (3) takes place either: (i) within 90 days before a political party nominating convention; or (ii) after the start of the absentee voting period prior to a presidential nomination primary, or a regular or special state or local primary or general election. (b) This subdivision does not apply to a broadcaster or cable television system that disseminates a deep fake produced by a candidate if the broadcaster's or cable television system's dissemination is required by federal law.
