BNA ($): ‘The draft FEC rulemaking notice would ask for comments specifically on whether to adopt regulations similar to those recently approved by California’s Fair Political Practices Commission. The FPPC rules do not exempt internet ads from disclaimer rules for state campaigns but provide that small internet ads may use features like rollover displays, links to a separate website, or “other technological means” to provide a disclaimer.”

I testified before the FPPC on the issue of the Internet and disclosure issues, and thought that the FPPC handled these issues quite well (though I would like to see the monetary threshold for disclosure raised in appropriate circumstances).
