"Section 8-13-1355. (A)(1) For purposes of this section, a 'push-poll' is a paid telephone survey supporting or opposing any candidate for public office and conducted by or on behalf of a candidate or committee that:

(a) asks questions or gives statements relating to candidates for public office that state, imply, or convey information about another candidate's character, status, or political stance or record; and

(b) is conducted in a manner that is likely to be construed by the person receiving the call to be a survey or poll which uses an established method of scientific sampling and gather statistical data for entities or organizations that are acting independently of any political party, candidate, or interest group.

(2) A person who conducts a push-poll, as defined in subsection (A)(1), must, at the beginning of the call, disclose the name of the candidate or committee that paid for, sponsored, donated, or authorized the call.

(3) If the call is an independent expenditure, the disclosure shall also state that no candidate has approved the call.

(4) No person or organization shall state or imply false or fictitious names or telephone numbers when providing the disclosures required under this section
