Bill summary

Senate committee substitute makes the following changes to 1st edition. Amends GS 138A-31(b) to clarify that the prohibition against disclosing a covered person’s public position in nongovernmental advertising does not apply to disclosure to an existing or prospective customer, supplier, or client when such disclosure could reasonably be considered material. Further clarifies that the prohibition does not apply to the inclusion of a covered person’s public position in an agenda or other document related to a meeting, conference, or similar event when the disclosure could reasonably be considered material (deletes conditional language limiting the prohibition to events sponsored by nonprofit organizations). Makes other technical changes.
