The bill amends section 49-1474.01 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to enhance political accountability and disclosure regarding disclaimers on political materials. It introduces new provisions that require candidates who pay for the production, distribution, or posting of political materials, such as billboards or advertisements, to include a disclaimer with their name and street address or post office box number. This requirement applies to both printed materials and radio or television advertisements, with the stipulation that the broadcasting station must retain the candidate's address for at least six months and provide it upon request.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that individuals acting independently with their own resources are exempt from these disclaimer requirements. It also maintains the existing regulations regarding the size and placement of disclaimers, which will be determined by the commission's rules. The bill retains penalties for violations, classifying them as a Class IV misdemeanor. The original section 49-1474.01 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
