AB  - The Tennessee ELVIS Act (Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security Act) was signed on 21 March 2024 and took effect on 1 July 2024. It is the first US state law specifically protecting individuals from AI voice cloning without consent, extending the right of publicity to cover voice (real or simulated) and providing for both civil and criminal penalties. Passed unanimously by the Tennessee legislature, the Act serves as the legislative template for subsequent state and federal performer protection proposals including the NO FAKES Act.
