The bill amends Title 45 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by adding a new section that mandates the disclosure of the dollar amount spent on taxpayer-funded advertising and public notices. Specifically, any advertisement or legal notice published in a newspaper under various specified acts must include the total amount paid by the advertiser in the lower right-hand corner. The acts referenced include The First Class Township Code, The Second Class Township Code, the Public School Code of 1949, the Second Class County Code, the Optional Third Class City Charter Law, and others related to boroughs, cities, and counties.

Additionally, the bill prohibits publishers from charging an extra fee for including the dollar amount in the publication. This legislation aims to enhance transparency regarding public spending on advertisements and notices, ensuring that taxpayers are informed about how their money is being utilized. The provisions of this act will apply to advertisements published on or after its effective date, which is set to be 60 days following its enactment.
