38-450. Public agency programs; advertisements; funding source; exemptions; definition
A. If a public agency uses any print media announcement, visual media announcement, broadcast media announcement, website campaign or similar type of official communication to advertise a program that the public agency administers or offers to the public, the public agency shall include in the advertisement a disclosure statement that the advertisement is paid for with federal, state or local taxes in a manner that is consistent with section 16‑912.01, subsection E.
B. A public agency is exempt from this section when soliciting for donations of monies or goods. The announcement, communication or advertisement is exempt from this section if it already includes a disclosure statement referencing a funding source.
C. For the purposes of this section, "public agency" means:
1. Any agency that is primarily supported by state or local taxes.
2. Any organization that receives fifty per cent or more of its revenues from federal, state or local taxes.
Sec. 2. Applicability
This act only applies to print media announcements, visual media announcements, broadcast media announcements, website campaigns or similar types of official communications that are created after the effective date of this act. A public agency may continue to use existing forms of announcements, campaigns or communications without the requirements of this act until those forms of announcements, campaigns or communications are depleted or the contractual period for broadcasting those announcements, campaigns or communications are terminated.
