SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Basic requirements for political campaign advertisements. Modifies the size requirement for the disclosure statement that must be printed on "print media" political campaign advertisements under the "Stand by Your Ad" law enacted in 2002. The law as enacted requires that the disclosure statement must constitute five percent of the height of any "print media" advertisement. The bill provides that print media other than billboards or outdoor advertising facilities may show the disclosure statement in 12 point or larger type size as an alternative to the five percent height requirement. The bill also exempts novelty items such as pens, buttons, magnets, and balloons from the disclosure statement requirement. This bill is incorporated into HB 1586.
