(Sacramento) - Speaker pro Tem Kevin Mullin is taking aim at the disclosure requirements in social media political ads in 2018.  AB 2188, the Social Media DISCLOSE Act, seeks to extend rules that apply to other forms of media, by requiring the disclosure of the true funders of political ads presented on social media.

“We need to do more on the social media side to identify who is actually paying for political ads on the various platforms,” Mullin said. 

The California Senior Legislature has been working to improve the lives of seniors since 1981. This nonpartisan organization has sponsored over 200 new laws helping seniors with financial abuse, health care, the Silver Alert program and more.

“Today’s attack on California laws and policies by Attorney General Jeff Sessions is another example of the Trump Administration’s divisive approach to governing. At a time when we should be working to unite America, this administration continues to sow the seeds of bigotry and hatred. California takes its responsibility to protect all our residents seriously. That responsibility is directly reflected in the collaboration we have had with law enforcement and others in developing legislation like SB 54, which DOES support coordination between local and federal law enforcement in regards to pursuing and prosecuting criminal activity. As we fight this legal action, we will stand with our immigrant communities and all Californians in an effort to protect everyone who makes a positive contribution to our state and our local communities.”   ​
