Ad disclosure bill backed by Senate

The Senate on Monday voted to send to the House a bill that would require a notice bought by a county or city in a newspaper to identify the local office paying for the notice and disclose the cost.

The Senate voted 34-1 to approve Senate Bill 610 by Sen. Scott Flippo, R-Mountain Home. The information required to be disclosed in the notice would be “printed in the same font size” as the notice itself.
