HB 2285 expands the definition of political advertising to include mass text message campaigns and increases penalties for violations. The bill defines mass text message campaigns as organized efforts involving text messages sent to multiple recipients in support or opposition to political candidates, parties, or measures. It raises the maximum civil penalty for disclosure violations from $4,000 to $10,000 and specifies that each individual text message sent in violation constitutes a separate offense​.
