If the expenditure for a broadcast or mass mailing advertisement that expressly advocates the election or defeat of any candidate is an independent expenditure, the committee shall include on the advertisement the names of the two persons making the largest cumulative contributions to the committee making the independent expenditure. If an acronym is used to specify any committee names in this section, the names of any sponsoring organization of the committee shall be printed on print advertisements or spoken in broadcast advertisements. For the purposes of determining the two contributors to be disclosed, the contributions of each person to the committee making the independent expenditure during the one-year period before the election shall be aggregated.
B. Any broadcast or mass mailing advertisement by an independent expenditure committee that expressly advocates the election or defeat of any candidate shall clearly state that the advertisement is authorized and paid for by a committee independent of the candidate.
C. The disclosures required by subsections A and B must be in compliance with Government Code sections 84506.5 and 84507, and any Regulations related to those sections. (Ord. 2017-0027 § 9; Ord. 2000-048 § 1)
