HB 1161, also known as “Brooke’s Law,” was inspired by Brooke Curry, who fell victim to a pornographic deepfake. Curry is the daughter of former Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry. https://t.co/Ft12VFgZCl
Great to be in Jacksonville today to sign vital legislation to protect children from sexual exploitation and ensure predators face consequences for their heinous crimes.
✅ HB 777 strengthens Florida’s laws against luring or enticing children.
✅ HB 1351 enhances registration, reporting, and verification requirements for sexual predators and offenders in Florida.
✅ HB 1455 provides mandatory minimum terms of imprisonment for specified sexual offenses when committed by registered offenders or predators.
✅ SB 1804 establishes Capital Human Trafficking of Vulnerable Persons for Sexual Exploitation as a new felony offense that carries the harshest possible penalties under Florida law. Adults who profit off the sexual exploitation of children under 12, or individuals who are mentally incapacitated, will face life imprisonment or the death penalty.
✅ HB 1611—called “Brooke’s Law” in honor of the brave young woman who joined us today to share her experience as the victim of AI-generated explicit imagery—protects victims of digital sexual abuse by providing a clear, enforceable, and swift process to remove exploitative deepfake material from online platforms.
#NEW: Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters - "I can promise you that this agency will always enforce the law and aggressively pursue those whose criminal actions harm our children and other vulnerable citizens."
"Brooke, our city is proud of you, for transforming a painful life experience into the means to garner needed change."
WATCH: Brooke Curry on the signage of "Brooke's Law" today, which seeks to ensure removal of AI-generated "revenge pornography" on social media platforms
"Together, we've turned tragedy into a purpose."
"Awareness must grow. Protection must expand."

WATCH: @BrookeLCurry shares her story of how an AI deepfake was used to create explicit images of her when she was only 16 years old, and how this has motivated the creation of "Brooke's Law" to protect potential deepfake victims
Passed! I am one small voice helping to fight this fight! Congrats @FLOTUS for championing this bill & all of us who are victims of these crimes! I am proof you CAN reclaim your voice & hold these bad actors accountable. @tedcruz@RepMariaSalazar@WhiteHouse@PressSec 💪🏻❤️
PASSED: Take It Down Act
Advancing this legislation has been a key focus since I returned to my role as First Lady this past January. I am honored to have contributed to guiding it through Congress.
By safeguarding children from hurtful online behavior today, we take a vital step in nurturing our leaders of tomorrow.

BREAKING: The Florida Senate has sent "Brooke's Law" to @GovRonDeSantis' desk. The bill, named after former Jax Mayor @lennycurry's daughter, gives victims of AI deep fakes a way to remove the content from social media platforms.
Catch the story on @ActionNewsJax at 5 PM.
When @brookeLCurry was an infant I nicknamed her Rocky. Every time she got knocked down she got up and composed herself and started swinging . She is the Brooke behind Brooke's law. I am so proud of her.
Stunning display of strength and courage. Protecting the voice of the voiceless is such a precious gift to our world.
Thank you Brooke for not letting someone take your voice. My daughters are not only safer, but have a new role model☺️
Also thank you brother @WymanDuggan
