AB 2413: Large-format public advertisements: public expense.

This bill aims to regulate large-format public advertisements at public expense. It prohibits the publication or display of large-format public advertisements that include the photograph of an elected officer affiliated with the agency producing or purchasing the advertisement. The advertisement must be prepared in cooperation, consultation, coordination, or concert with the elected officer. The bill furthers the purposes of the Political Reform Act of 1974, which regulates campaign financing and activities. The bill allows for the regulation of large-format public advertisements by the commission by regulation. No reimbursement is required for a specified reason, and the bill is amended to further the purposes of the Political Reform Act of 1974 upon a 2/3 vote of each house of the legislature.
