2 7 This bill restricts the use of the internet for
2 8 nongovernmental advertising by executive branch entities.
2 9 The bill restricts advertising by executive branch entities
2 10 that maintain an internet presence. Generally, the bill
2 11 prohibits an entity from controlling an internet site that is
2 12 used to distribute electronic information, including a public
2 13 record, if the electronic information is presented with an
2 14 advertisement or is the point of origin for an electronic link
2 15 to another internet site that presents an advertisement. The
2 16 prohibition does not apply to an internet site that is the
2 17 point of destination by a link from another internet site that
2 18 is not controlled by an executive branch entity. It also does
2 19 not apply to an advertisement presented for the purpose of
2 20 promoting real property, goods, or services for sale, lease,
2 21 barter, or auction by a governmental entity.
