Massachusetts H858 mandates disclosure for political phone calls, requiring identification of the caller and the funding source.

Massachusetts H858 amends election laws to require disclosure for political phone calls. Specifically, any entity engaging in push-polling must inform the recipient that the call is a "paid political advertisement," identify the organization making the call, and state the organization paying for the call. This applies to calls made in support of or opposition to a candidate for public office, including those for Governor, state senate, state representative, mayor, city councilor, and others.
