This bill amends the existing law regarding political advertising in newspapers, periodicals, and billboards by removing the requirement for such advertisements to be explicitly marked as "Political Advertising." The specific legal language that is deleted from current law is the phrase that mandates this identification at the beginning or end of the advertisements.

In addition to this deletion, the bill maintains the provision that prohibits any person or business organization involved in publishing or broadcasting from charging different advertising rates to candidates, political committees, parties, or causes. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
