This bill amends existing Kansas law regarding corrupt political advertising by removing the requirement for treasurers to be listed in political advertising attributions. Specifically, it deletes references to the treasurer in the attribution requirements for various forms of political advertising, including newspapers, radio, television, and other media. The bill maintains the requirement that the name of the chairperson or responsible individual must still be included in these attributions, ensuring transparency in political advertising while simplifying the attribution process.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of corrupt political advertising and establishes that such offenses are classified as misdemeanors. It also repeals the existing sections of K.S.A. 25-2407 and 25-4156, consolidating the legal framework for political advertising into a more streamlined format. The changes aim to enhance the clarity and efficiency of political advertising regulations in Kansas, while still holding advertisers accountable for their disclosures.
