What’s in it

AI summary Certain companies, like banks and insurance providers, are usually not allowed to give campaign contributions. This law says that if these companies allow a campaign sign to be placed on their property, it won't count as an illegal contribution. The only exception is if the company's actual business is selling signs.1

The bill specifies that the placement of a campaign sign on property owned, leased, or occupied by an insurance company, savings association, bank, credit union, or corporation is not a contribution under Code section 68A.503 unless the entity is in the business of selling signs.
