HI HB656

Amends Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 11-341(d) to add two new exclusions to the definition of "electioneering communication" that require disclosure reporting.

Excludes communications of a candidate's name on sundry items such as bumper stickers, stickers, or novelty items directly associated with that candidate's campaign committee from electioneering communication reporting requirements.

Excludes advertisements broadcast, published, or distributed by any candidate or that candidate's candidate committee to promote the election of that candidate or oppose the election of an opponent, provided the advertisement complies with Section 11-391.

Changes grammatical references in existing exclusions from plural to singular forms for consistency.

Takes effect July 1, 2112.
