This bill, the Stand By Every Ad Act, amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require the sponsors of certain general public political advertisements to include information on the persons who provided the funding for such advertisements. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Applying disclaimer requirements to online communications, including requiring clear and conspicuous disclosure of the name of the person paying for the communication. 2. Establishing new disclaimer requirements for "campaign-related disbursements" by certain organizations, including disclosing the top funders of the communication. 3. Requiring additional disclosure statements for communications not authorized by candidates or committees, such as displaying the name of the individual or organization paying for the ad. 4. Extending disclaimer requirements to certain prerecorded telephone calls. 5. Clarifying that the bill does not expand disclaimer requirements for internet communications beyond what is already required. 6. Establishing an effective date of January 1, 2020, regardless of whether the FEC has issued implementing regulations.
