Interpretation:

such as the League of Women Voters, a local PTSA, the Chamber of Commerce, etc. is not a

 Advocacy regarding any position on an issue before a legislative, legislatively created body or

judicial body, whether or not the issue is on a public ballot is not permitted.

 Information advising of a public meeting, hearing or other event before a legislative, legislatively
