IL HB3735

Requires political committees to include in campaign communications (pamphlets, ads, internet, radio, television, phone calls) the name of the committee paying for the communication and a list of top contributors of $50,000 or more, beginning with the largest contributor.

Mandates a statement in applicable communications that the communication was not authorized by a candidate or a committee controlled by a candidate, if applicable.

Specifies display requirements for disclosures based on medium: radio and phone ads must speak the information clearly for at least 3 seconds; television and video ads must display text at 4% of screen height in contrasting color on a black background for 5-10 seconds depending on ad length.

For graphic or image-based electronic media ads, allows linking to a website containing required disclosures instead of displaying text on the ad itself if space is limited.

Exempts certain communications from disclosure requirements, including items too small to contain required information, General Assembly constituent communications under specific circumstances, and telephone surveys using random sampling methods.
