Bill > SB746

This bill would require a business entity to submit a report to the Secretary of State if, in the previous calendar year, the entity used its products or services to alter online search results to emphasize or deemphasize materials containing express advocacy, or to target online advertisements for political purposes without full and adequate consideration. The report would need to include information such as the names of candidates or measures affected, whether the results or ads supported or opposed them, and the decision-makers involved. The bill would not apply to a business entity's use of its products or services for commercial activities or internal communications. The bill also states that it furthers the purposes of the Political Reform Act of 1974.
