IOWA
A bill has been proposed in Iowa which would require certain disclosures for political telephone calls. Calls including “push polls” would be required to disclose the identity of the individual who is calling and the entity with which the individual is affiliated, as well as the individual that paid for the telephone communication. The law would also require disclosure of the name, telephone number and address of an individual who the call recipient can contact for further information.
