HB 1448 requires non-official campaign or election mailings (like voter registration reminders or absentee ballot solicitations) sent via mail to include a clear disclaimer in 14-point font stating, "This piece of mail is not an official government document from the State of Oklahoma or any subdivision of this state." It imposes fines of $100 per mailing campaign for the first violation, increasing to $300 for a third offense, and directs the Oklahoma Ethics Commission to enforce the rule. The bill directly affects political campaigns, nonprofits, and organizations distributing such mailings to voters. It becomes effective November 1, 2025.
