Gov. Jared Polis signed The Clean Campaign Act of 2019 into law on May 29, increasing disclosure of political spending.
House Bill 1318 extends existing restrictions barring a foreign corporation from making independent expenditures.
Restrictions now include a natural person who is not a citizen of the United States or a foreign government.
The bill expands existing disclaimer requirements by requiring a disclaimer to include communication placed on a website, streaming media service, or an online forum for a fee, or that is otherwise distributed.
Additionally, the bill ensures that corporations spending money on ballot initiatives disclose that they paid for the communication.
The bill took effect upon the governor’s signature.
