Amend HB 2511 on third reading, in SECTION 1 of the bill, by 
striking added Section 251.001(23), Election Code, and 
substituting the following:
		(23)  "Electioneering communication" means a 
communication that if taken as a whole and with limited reference to 
external events, such as the proximity to the election, could only 
be interpreted by a reasonable person as an appeal to vote for or 
against one or more clearly identified candidates or ballot 
measures. Any reasonable doubt must be resolved in favor of 
permitting the communication.  The term does not include a 
communication that:
			(A)  exclusively discusses a legislative, 
judicial, or executive matter or issue;
			(B)  urges an officeholder to take a particular 
position or action regarding a matter or issue or urges the public 
to adopt a particular position and to contact an officeholder 
regarding the matter or issue;
			(C)  does not mention an election, candidacy, 
political party, opposing candidate, or voting by the general 
public; and
			(D)  does not take a position on any candidate's 
or officeholder's character, qualifications, or fitness for 
office.
