HB 4604

Abstract

Amends the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act. Prohibits a public service announcement on behalf of a State administered program that contains the proper name, image, or voice of a State executive branch constitutional officer or legislator from being displayed on a billboard or electronic message board, used as part of a pre-recorded telephonic message, or otherwise used in any non-live message in any medium. Prohibits promotional items on behalf of a State administered program that contain the proper name or image of a State executive branch constitutional officer or legislator on any billboard (now, any commercial billboard) if designed, paid for, prepared, or distributed using public dollars and removes the exemption for items that are in furtherance of the person's official State duties or governmental and public service functions.
