Elections; campaign or election material; disclaimer; misdemeanor; effective date.

HB 1448 requires non-government campaign or election mailers (such as those encouraging absentee ballot applications or election dates) sent to voters to include a specific disclaimer in 14-point font: "This piece of mail is not an official government document from the State of Oklahoma or any subdivision of this state." It directly affects political campaigns, advocacy groups, and organizations sending such mailers, excluding official government documents from election boards. Violations incur a $100 fine per mailer campaign (not per piece) for the first offense, rising to $300 for a third offense, with the Oklahoma Ethics Commission enforcing the law. The bill aims to clarify the origin of election-related mailers to voters.
