The Arizona Revised Statutes amend section 16-1023 to allow a candidate for public office to bring an action for digital impersonation within two years of knowing or exercising reasonable diligence that a digital impersonation was published. The sole remedy is judicial and permanent declability, except as otherwise provided. A prosecutor must prove that the impersonation was published without the person’s consent, that the publisher did not reasonably disclose the impersonation’s authenticity or that it was not otherwise obvious. If the impersonation is part of a paid advertisement, a cause of action for declatory judgment may be brought against the person or entity who ordered, placed, or paid for the advertisement. A person can also petition the Superior Court for the state in which they reside or for a preliminary judgment that a recording or image is a digital impersonation.
This text outlines the definition of digital impersonation, which refers to the use of electronic media to represent a person engaging in a sexual act or a criminal act. If the person is not eligible for expedited relief, they may face significant personal or financial hardship or loss of employment opportunities. The text also emphasizes the importance of justice and the right of the publisher to appear, be heard, and present evidence before a preliminary decLARatory judgment. If the publisher does not appear and no other party intervenes as a defendant, the prosecutor is not entitled to taxable costs. If the statute is deemed invalid, it does not affect other provisions or applications of the act that can be given effect without this provision. The text also states that a person bringing an action for digital impersonation has the right to recover indemnifying relief and damages if all requirements are met. The text also states that the section is narrowly constructed in favor of free and open discourse on matters of public concern and artistic expression and does not limit a party’s constitutional right to trial by jury.
