GA HB1235

Candidates, campaign committees, independent committees, and leadership committees receiving more than 50% of contributions from non-Georgia persons must include the notice "This political advertisement was paid for by out-of-state interests" on all campaign ads after crossing that threshold.

Print ad notices must be in the same or larger font as most text and prominently placed; radio and TV ads must read the notice aloud in a conversational tone at the conclusion.

All candidates and committees must display a pie chart on their website showing the percentage of contributions from in-state versus out-of-state sources, updated monthly throughout the election cycle.

"Non-Georgia person" is defined as individuals who are not registered Georgia voters or state income taxpayers, businesses not registered or paying taxes in Georgia, and committees that cannot trace their funds to Georgia sources.

Each failure to comply constitutes a separate violation subject to civil or criminal penalties under existing campaign finance law.
