Ensuring Likeness, Voice, and Image Security Act of 2024 (formerly Personal Rights Protection Act of 1984)

Tennessee's right-of-publicity statute gives every individual a property right in the use of their name, photograph, voice, and likeness. The 2024 ELVIS Act added voice (including simulated or AI-generated voice) as a protected right and created liability for publishing unauthorized voice or likeness replicas and for distributing tools whose primary purpose is cloning a particular person. Rights survive death and pass to heirs, subject to First Amendment fair-use exceptions.
