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 the printed space in any "print media" advertisement. The bill provides that the disclosure statement shall be in a font at least 12-point size for print media 11 inches by 14 inches or smaller and five percent of the height for larger print media items. The size measure applies to one page, fold, or face on multiple page, fold, or face items. The bill also exempts novelty items such as pens, buttons, and balloons from the disclosure statement requirement. This bill is incorporated into HB 1586.
