Political ad disclaimer rule changed

A bill that changes disclaimer requirements for some political advertisements was given final approval May 14.

Under the Nebraska Political Accountability and Disclosure Act, the candidate or ballot question committee that pays for printed campaign materials is required to list a street address in the accompanying payment disclaimer.

LB32, introduced by Omaha Sen. Megan Hunt, allows candidate committees to use a post office box instead. A street address still will be required to be on file with the NADC.

Senators passed the bill on a 47-2 vote.
