Change provisions relating to disclaimers on political advertisements
This bill requires anyone paying for political advertisements (including billboards, radio, or TV ads) to include their full name and street address on the material or in the ad. Candidates themselves must include their name and address (or PO box) for ads they pay for, with broadcasters required to keep candidate addresses on file. It exempts small items like bumper stickers, yard signs, and campaign buttons from the disclaimer rule. Violating these requirements is a Class IV misdemeanor.
