Bill > HB5217

This bill amends the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act to prohibit public service announcements or advertisements on behalf of any state-administered program from being posted on any social media platform if they contain the proper name, image, or voice of any executive branch constitutional officer or member of the General Assembly. The bill also makes conforming changes to the existing law, which already prohibited such announcements and advertisements from being broadcast or aired on radio or television, printed in a commercial newspaper or magazine, or displayed on a billboard or electronic message board.
