U.S. Representatives Madeleine Dean (D-PA-04) and María Elvira Salazar (R-FL-27) reintroduced a bipartisan, bicameral bill to federally protect individuals from AI-generated deepfakes.
Dean reintroduced the NO FAKES Act to create federal protections against AI-generated deepfakes and unauthorized digital replicas.
Reps. María Elvira Salazar and Madeleine Dean reintroduced companion legislation in the House.
This shows Dean took the concrete legislative step promised by the claim: she reintroduced a House companion bill aimed at AI deepfakes/nonconsensual imagery.
The House version, co-sponsored by Reps. María Elvira Salazar and Madeleine Dean, passed Monday.
The House passed the related deepfake-protection bill Dean co-sponsored, indicating the legislative effort moved beyond introduction and into enacted law territory later in the same term.
The promise was to reintroduce legislation, not necessarily to enact it. The evidence states that Rep. Madeleine Dean and Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar reintroduced companion House legislation to address AI deepfakes/nonconsensual imagery on March 4, 2025. That is the specific action promised, and it occurred while Dean remained in office, so this counts as delivered in the same term.
