 Disclaimers
An individual, organization or a committee who expends money or solicits a contribution to finance a communication
that expressly advocates the election or defeat of a clearly identified candidate must include a “disclaimer” in the
communication. (IC 3-9-3-2.5)

smoking gun.


However, the Indiana disclaimer law does not apply to:
1) Communications concerning election to a federal office (these are governed by federal law and regulations).
2) Communication relating to the outcome of a public question (IC 3-9-3-2.5(a)(2)
3) Political messages on radio, television, or the Internet. (In general, state law does not regulate these media.
For information about disclaimers required for state and local candidates for radio, television, or cable contact
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) at (202) 418-1440 or visit www.fcc.gov.)
4) Items where a disclaimer cannot be conveniently printed or would be impractical such as bumper stickers,
pins, buttons, pens, wearing apparel, water towers, skywriting, etc.
5) Committee checks and receipts only used for administrative purposes.
6) Certain communications (direct mailings of 100 or less, similar pieces of mail, or communications by the PAC
of a corporation or labor union requesting contributions from stockholders or labor union members).
7) Disclaimer requirements do not apply to candidates for precinct committeeman or state convention delegate.


Some examples of political materials and literature that DO require disclaimers are newspaper advertisements,
billboards, signs, posters, yard signs, (whether homemade or commercially printed), portable billboards, brochures,
leaflets, circulars, letterhead, and direct mail pieces sent to more than 100 persons. Type size and color contrast
requirements are established as minimum standards for disclaimers. A 12-point type font size satisfies the size
requirement for these types of disclaimers.

More information about disclaimers and enforcement matters can be found in the current version of the Campaign
Finance Manual.

so: cease and desist from any further distribution of the election administration manual and or the campaign finance manual and the literature brochure. are there any other publications that convey a threat of enforcement of 2.5?
