AI Summary

It also requires additional information in the disclaimer on independent expenditures, including listing the top three contributors to the expenditure. Additionally, it directs the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board to adopt rules on the form and content of disclaimers for small electronic communications, and appropriates $5,000 for the board to do so.
