House Bill No. by Representative Knox amends R.S. 18:1463(C)(2) to enhance disclosure requirements for political materials, specifically focusing on digital communications related to electioneering. The bill mandates that any disbursement made for financing electioneering communications or digital materials referencing legally qualified candidates must include clear disclosures. This includes stating who paid for the communication, whether it is authorized by a candidate or political committee, and providing full names without acronyms.

The new provisions specifically require that digital materials broadcast within sixty days before an election must comply with the same disclosure standards as traditional political communications. This includes identifying the payer's name, physical address, and contact information if the communication is not authorized by a candidate or committee. The bill aims to ensure transparency in political advertising and to inform voters about the sources of election-related communications.
