The NO FAKES Act heads to a Senate Judiciary Committee markup and vote on June 11, 2026. This is a moment three years in the making and the closest this bill has come to becoming law. Right now, anyone's face or voice can be cloned and dropped into a video they never agreed to, and most people have far fewer legal rights to stop it than they think. The NO FAKES Act would change that. To break down what the bill actually does, we're joined by SAG-AFTRA LA Local President and the SAG-AFTRA Government Affairs & Public Policy Committee (GAPP) Co-Chair Joely Fisher; actor-producer and GAPP Committee Co-chair Jason George and SAG-AFTRA Chief Legal Officer Jeffrey Bennett. They explain the new federal right NO FAKES would create in your voice and likeness, the fast "take down and stay down" process that would force platforms to remove unauthorized replicas and the built-in First Amendment protections. They also discuss the unusually broad coalition behind the bill and how you can support this at sagaftra.org/nofakes. *The views expressed by guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of their organization or SAG-AFTRA.
