HOUSE BILL 1068  

HOUSE AUTHOR: McReynolds

EFFECTIVE: 09-01-99         

SENATE SPONSOR: Harris

Candidates who seek public offices that they do not currently hold are required to use the word "for" in campaign advertisements that state the public office sought to clarify that they do not hold that office. House Bill 1068 amends the Election Code to require that the word "for" be in a type size that is at least one-half the type size used for the name of the office.
