AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Election Code to prohibit broadcasting electioneering communications (political advertisements or messages intended to influence voting) on video or audio services that are primarily targeted at children under 13 years old. If a person violates this provision, they would be subject to a business offense with a potential fine of up to $1,000. The bill aims to protect young children from political advertising by restricting such communications on media platforms primarily consumed by children, such as children's TV channels, streaming services, or radio stations. By classifying the violation as a business offense, the legislation suggests the restriction applies to media companies and advertisers who might attempt to broadcast political ads in child-focused media spaces.
