The bill amends section 49-1474.01 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to update the requirements for disclaimers on political materials. It specifies that individuals acting independently with their own resources are exempt from the disclaimer requirement, while candidates who pay for political materials must include their name and address or post office box number on such materials. This includes billboards, posters, pamphlets, and advertisements on radio or television. The bill also mandates that radio and television stations retain the candidate's address or post office box number for at least six months and provide it upon request.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the size and placement of disclaimers will be determined by regulations set by the commission, which may exempt certain items like bumper stickers and campaign buttons from the disclaimer requirement. The penalties for knowingly violating these provisions remain as a Class IV misdemeanor. The original section 49-1474.01 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
