August 29, 2026 · Corrected; substantive review remains overdue
New York guide used clauses removed before enactment
- Affected framework
- New York synthetic performer advertising law
- Prior information
- The guide said advertising media could become responsible after written notice and a cure period and separately described a disclosure-removal prohibition.
- Corrected information
- Those clauses appeared in an earlier bill version but are absent from enacted S.8420-A and current General Business Law § 396-b. Current subdivision 8 instead broadly excludes an advertising medium by which a violating advertisement is published or disseminated. Subdivision 3's actual-knowledge condition attaches to the producer or creator.
- Reason
- An official-text comparison found that wording from the original bill had been carried into the enacted-law summary.

- Resolution
- Removed the clauses, corrected the role and exclusion, made the codified source primary, added regression coverage, and retained the overdue state pending substantive human review.
