Current Utah law generally bars public officials from spending public money on billboards or mass mailings that feature their photo or prominently display their name within 60 days before a caucus, convention, or election in which they are a candidate. This bill would add a narrow exception allowing an official's photo to appear during that 60-day window in a regularly published public entity newsletter, as part of a candidate profile, so long as that profile is displayed in the same format, timing, and manner as the profiles of all other candidates for the same office and does not promote or oppose anyone's candidacy.
