NJ Rev Stat § 19:44A-22.2 (2021)
2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 19 - Elections|Section 19:44A-22.2 - Findings, declarations relative to campaign advertisements

19:44A-22.2. Findings, declarations relative to campaign advertisements  1. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. in McIntyre v. Ohio, 63 U.S.L.W. 4279 (U.S. April 19, 1995) (No. 93-986), the United States Supreme Court invalidated, on First Amendment grounds, an Ohio statute prohibiting the distribution of campaign materials which did not bear the issuer's name and address; b. nevertheless, this decision recognized that there may be circumstances in which a state's enforcement interest justifies a more limited identification requirement; c. the court noted that in the area of campaign finance, in particular, a more narrowly drawn statute may be permitted; d. prior decisions of the United States Supreme Court have established that regulation of campaign finance may be justified by a state's interest in preventing actual or perceived corruption; and e. because the McIntyre decision calls into question the validity of certain New Jersey statutes requiring disclosures on campaign advertising, there is a need to revise the law so that it is narrowly-tailored to help effectuate the State's compelling interest in preventing corruption in connection with the financing of campaigns for public office.
