"THIS MESSAGE HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED AND PAID FOR BY (NAME OF PAYOR OR
ANY ORGANIZATION AFFILIATED WITH THE PAYOR), (NAME AND TITLE OF
TREASURER OR PRESIDENT). THIS MESSAGE HAS NOT BEEN AUTHORIZED OR
APPROVED BY ANY CANDIDATE."
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 33, § 13-501(a)(2) and (3) and § 13-504(b).
In subsection (a)(1)(i)1 and (3) of this section, the former reference to a
"candidate, ... chairman, or campaign manager" is deleted in light of the
reference to the "treasurer" of a campaign finance entity and in light of §
13-218 of this title, which requires the treasurer to authorize expenditures
on behalf of the campaign finance entity.
In subsection (a)(1)(i) and (4) of this section, the references to a "campaign
finance entity" are added for clarity. See General Revisor's Note to this title
and § 1-101 of this article.
In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the reference to "message" is
substituted for the former reference to "printing" to encompass oral
statements.
In subsection (a)(3) of this section, the reference to the name "and title" of
the treasurer or other person responsible for campaign material is added
for clarity.
In subsection (a)(4) of this section, the reference to a "commercial"
advertisement is added to cover radio, commercial sound trucks, and
similar printed advertisements for clarity and to express what the
Committee presumes to be the intent of the General Assembly. The
Election Law Article Review Committee brings this addition to the
attention of the General Assembly.
In subsection (b) of this section, the former phrase "campaign
advertisement" is deleted as included in the definition of "[c]ampaign
material".
Also in subsection (b) of this section, the phrase "published or distributed"
is added for clarity and consistency with subsection (a)(1) of this section.
Also in subsection (b) of this section, the phrase "in support of or in
opposition to a candidate" is added for clarity and in light of § 13-102 of
this title, which exempts from the regulation of this title individuals who
act independently of any other person when expressing personal views on
any subject or making an expenditure of personal funds to purchase
campaign material.
Also in subsection (b) of this section, the phrase "payor or any organization
affiliated with the payor" is substituted for the former reference to the
"committee or any affiliated organization of the committee" for clarity.
