State-funded advertising notice requirement and civil personal liability for failure to comply creation
SF 103 requires all state agencies and constitutional officers to include the exact notice "Paid for by the hardworking taxpayers of Minnesota" on any advertising or promotional material funded by state money, regardless of medium (including digital, radio, or print). This applies to all ads purchased with state funds, with specific formatting rules for audio, video, and print formats. Failure to include the notice makes the agency commissioner or official personally liable for the full cost of the advertisement, with penalties paid to the state general fund. The bill directly affects state agencies and officials managing public advertising, creating a clear transparency requirement with financial consequences for noncompliance.
