An Act amending Title 45 (Legal Notices) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in legal advertising, providing for disclosure of taxpayer-funded advertising and public notices.
This bill requires newspapers to display the specific dollar amount paid by taxpayers in the lower right-hand corner of certain official advertisements and legal notices. It directly affects local governments and entities that fund public announcements through newspapers, such as townships, counties, school districts, and cities. The law mandates that this disclosure appears in ads related to township codes, public school notices, county regulations, and open meeting laws, while also prohibiting publishers from charging extra fees to include this information.
