22.1 Disclaimer requirement for nonbroadcast communications, including online communications.
22.1.1 Under section
1-45-107.5(5)(c),
C.R.S., nonbroadcast communications must contain a clear and conspicuous
disclaimer that is clearly readable, printed in text that is no less than 15
percent of the size of the largest font used in the communication, or at least
eight-point font, and includes:
(a) The name
of the person that paid for the communication;
(b) In the case of an independent
expenditure, a statement that the communication is not authorized by any
candidate; and
(c) A natural person
who is the registered agent if the person identified in subsection (a) above is
not a natural person.
22.1.2 These requirements do not apply to
bumper stickers, pins, buttons, pens, and similar small items upon which the
disclaimer cannot be reasonably printed.
22.1.3 If the size, format, or display
requirements of an electronic or online communication make it impracticable to
include a disclaimer statement on the communication, the disclaimer statement
must be available by means of a direct link from the communication to the web
page or application screen containing the statement.
(a) The information provided in the direct
link are subject to all of the size and content requirements in Rule
22.1.1.
(b) The information
provided in the direct link must be clearly and conspicuously displayed, and
must be immediately apparent on the screen without receiving or viewing any
additional material.
(c) If the
communication is a direct or indirect electronic message to a person, including
but not limited to a text message, only the initial communication must contain
the direct link.
(d) For purposes
of this Rule, it is impracticable to include a disclaimer statement if it would
severely interfere with the ability to convey the intended message.
