Employers of models breaking the law could face six months in jail and fines of $81,000.
The legislation, passed Thursday, also stipulated that advertisements featuring models whose body shapes have been altered be labeled "photograph edited."
Those breaking the law on digitally altered images could face fines of $40,600 or up to 30% of expenses relating to the advertisement.
