[EL] State law definitions of express advocacy

[Roy Schotland]

Blessings on Eric Lycan for pursuing this.  Caveat false leads-- e.g. Maryland adopted a splendid statute ... and two weeks later amended to restore "magic words"; the amendment is often missed.
      His question is The Key, I believe, to the most-needed, most self-defeatingly ignored, realm of state disclosure law.

Subject: [EL] State law definitions of express advocacy



Does anyone have or know of a reference/list/chart for which states (such as Kentucky) continue to use the Buckley definition of express advocacy, and those that have adopted a WRTL II no-reasonable-interpretation-other-than definition?

 

Thank you.
