Relating to political advertising distributed or broadcast as part of a mass text message campaign and civil penalties for required disclosures on certain political advertising.

HB 2285 defines "mass text message campaigns" as political ads sent to multiple recipients with campaign spending exceeding basic costs (like hardware and bandwidth). It requires clear disclosures in such texts and imposes fines of up to $10,000 per violation. Crucially, each text message sent in violation counts as a separate offense, increasing potential penalties. The law applies only to texts distributed on or after September 1, 2025, and does not affect past text-based political advertising.
