Deleting the requirement that the name of treasurers be listed in attributions for political advertising.
HB 2446 removes a requirement in Kansas election law that political advertisements must list the treasurer's name in their disclosures. Instead, ads only need to include the name of the sponsoring organization's chairperson or the responsible individual. This change applies to all paid political ads for state or local elections, including print, broadcast, and digital communications. The bill amends Kansas statutes K.S.A. 25-2407 and 25-4156 to delete the specific reference to treasurers in attribution rules.
