Political Reform Act of 1974: advertisements.

Assembly Member Solache's Billboard DISCLOSE Act modifies California's political advertisement disclosure requirements to accommodate various advertising formats while maintaining transparency in campaign communications. The legislation permits abbreviated committee names and contributor listings on yard signs, billboards, and electronic media advertisements that link to committee-funded websites.

The bill establishes specific formatting guidelines for political advertisement disclosures, allowing top contributor names to be separated by bullet points or sequential numbering on larger printed materials. For sponsored committees, only the sponsor's name must be displayed if all sponsors are listed as top contributors. The measure also introduces approved abbreviations for common terms in contributor names and permits the omission of certain words like "incorporated" or "committee" unless essential for identification.

For independent expenditure advertisements supporting or opposing candidates, the bill shortens required disclaimers to "Not paid for by candidate" or "Not paid for by a candidate for this office." These modifications aim to balance disclosure requirements with space constraints while preserving voter access to funding source information across different advertising mediums.
