_____ materials. The bill requires published material (newspaper, magazine, shopper, outdoor advertising facility, poster, direct mailing, brochure, internet site, campaign sign, or other form of printed or electronic general public political advertising, including television, video, or motion picture advertising) that contains synthetic media, defined in the bill, to include a disclosure. The inclusion of the disclosure required by the bill does not preclude a person from pursuing any other remedies under law for the publication of synthetic media. The bill requires the Iowa ethics and campaign disclosure board to adopt rules to implement the bill. By operation of law, a person who willfully violates a provision of the bill is guilty of a serious misdemeanor. A serious misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than one year and a fine of at least $430 but not more than $2,560.

Nota fiscal
Resumen con IA This bill requires campaign materials containing synthetic media to include a specific disclosure statement. Because the number of new convictions for this offense cannot be estimated, the total fiscal impact on the state cannot be determined. However, the average state cost per serious misdemeanor is estimated to be between $350 and $6,200, affecting the Judicial Branch, the Indigent Defense Fund, and the Department of Corrections. (en inglés)3
De la nota: House File 2609 creates a new offense within Iowa Code chapter 68A, and the number of convictions is unknown. The average State cost per serious misdemeanor is between $350 and $6,200. This includes operating costs incurred by the Judicial Branch, the Indigent Defense Fund, and the DOC. Any cost increase or decrease would be incurred across multiple fiscal years for prison and parole supervision.
