Tennessee has unveiled the ELVIS act, aiming to protect the voices of artists as a protected personal right:

Present law provides that every individual has a property right in the use of that person’s name, photograph, or likeness in any medium in any manner. This bill adds to the present law by providing that an individual also has a property right in the use of that individual’s voice. […]

This bill adds to the present law by providing that any person who knowingly uses or infringes upon the use of an individual’s voice, in any manner directed to any person other than such individual, for purposes of advertising products, merchandise, goods, or services, or for purposes of fundraising, solicitation of donations, purchases of products, merchandise, goods, or services, without such individual’s prior consent, or, in the case of a minor, the prior consent of such minor’s parent or legal guardian, or in the case of a deceased individual, the consent of the executor or administrator, heirs, or devisees of such deceased individual, is also liable to a civil action.

The goal is to protect musicians against unauthorized AI usage.
