Rep. Ben Harrison’s bill to hold AI companies accountable for enabling non-consensual intimate imagery cleared the Alabama House with a bipartisan majority in 2026. It did not reach a Senate floor vote before the session adjourned. We are organizing now to pass it in 2027.
Under current Alabama law, technology developers enjoy broad immunity when their platforms and tools are used to create or distribute non-consensual intimate imagery — including AI-generated images of real people. That immunity was written for an earlier era of the internet, when platforms were genuinely passive carriers of what users posted.
HB347 would close that gap. It would hold AI companies accountable when they knowingly design and profit from tools whose foreseeable output is the sexual exploitation of real people.
Rep. Ben Harrison (R-Elkmont, HD-2) holds a press conference in Montgomery announcing HB347 to hold AI companies accountable for enabling non-consensual imagery.
HB347 cleared the Alabama House of Representatives during the 2026 regular session with a strong bipartisan vote.
The 2026 regular session adjourned sine die with HB347 still on the Senate’s calendar. End-of-session time pressure, not opposition, is what stopped it.
Rep. Harrison joins Kristi Bush, Drew Stahl, Rep. Ernie Yarbrough, and Dr. Randy Brinson at Frazer Church in Montgomery to build coalition support for the bill’s 2027 reintroduction.
Regional town halls, pastor engagement, educator briefings, and survivor testimony to build the pressure the Senate could not resist.
Return of the bill with a broader sponsor list, refined language, and the organized statewide coalition the 2026 effort lacked.
The Alabama House proved the votes are there. In 2027, the job is to give the Senate the time and the pressure to act. Sign up below and we will tell you — the week it matters — which committee is holding the bill, where it sits on the calendar, and exactly what to say when you call your Senator.
