New Jersey Nonconsensual Intimate Image Platform Cooperation Bill (A3064)

Properties

kind: law
target: likeness
jurisdiction: US, New Jersey
mechanism: Requires a social media company, on request, to cooperate with any nonprofit organization that seeks to remove nonconsensual intimate images or videos, and to immediately remove flagged material pending a review of consent. Section 3.c(2) separately defines an intimate image or video as nonconsensual when the depicted individual 'did not give express consent for the image or video to be created or disclosed' where it is 'deceptive audio or visual media,' defined elsewhere in the bill as a video, image, or audio representation, substantially dependent on technical means rather than physical impersonation, that realistically depicts speech or conduct of a person who did not in fact engage in it, so an AI-generated intimate deepfake falls within the platform-cooperation duty even though the depicted person never actually performed the act.
status: committee
owns: Distinct from take-it-down-act (federal, FTC-enforced 48-hour notice-and-removal window) and from ca-deepfake-pornography-act (a standalone civil cause of action under California Civil Code 1708.86) by mandating platform cooperation specifically with nonprofit hash-matching and removal initiatives, rather than creating a fixed federal takedown clock or a new civil claim; its two-track nonconsensual definition (real recording without consent, or 'deceptive audio or visual media' created without consent) is the operative hook bringing AI deepfakes into an otherwise intimate-imagery statute.

notes: Introduced bill text (A3064, 222nd New Jersey Legislature), Section 3.c(2). 'Deceptive audio or visual media' is defined in Section 2 of the same introduced text as 'any video recording, motion picture film, sound recording, electronic image, photograph, or any technological representation of speech or conduct substantially derivative thereof, that appears to a reasonable person to realistically depict any speech or conduct of a person who did not in fact engage in the speech or conduct, and the production of which was substantially dependent upon technical means, rather than the ability of another person to physically or verbally impersonate the person.' The platform-cooperation duty itself ('A social media company shall cooperate with any nonprofit organization that seeks to remove the nonconsensual intimate images or videos') is in Section 3.a. The bill's findings section names StopNCII.org and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's Take It Down initiative as examples of existing nonprofit removal tools, not as mandatory named partners. Status per secondary trackers (LegiScan, FastDemocracy): engrossed and passed by the Assembly, received in the Senate, and referred to the Senate Economic Growth Committee on May 18, 2026; the exact Assembly floor vote count was not independently confirmed against a primary njleg status/history page in this pass, so treat 'committee' as the best-available status rather than a directly quoted primary-source status line.
