Can I use email marketing to fundraise in Utah? What are the requirements?
Email Fundraising Requirements in Utah
According to the information available in the provided documents, there are certain regulations that need to be followed when using email marketing for fundraising in Utah.
Franking Regulations
The Franking Regulations govern the use of the frank under 39 U.S.C. § 3210 and related statutes. These regulations provide that any advertisement paid for by a congressional office, as well as any printed materials produced by an office, must be frankable in content. Emails sent by a congressional office must likewise comply with the Franking Regulations [3].
90-Day Ban on Unsolicited Mass Communications
Under statutory law and Committee on House Administration regulations, a Member is prohibited from spending official funds to make any unsolicited mass communication within 90 days of any election in which the Member’s name is on the ballot [3].
However, it is unclear whether these regulations apply to non-congressional email fundraising campaigns. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with legal experts or regulatory authorities in Utah to ensure compliance with the state’s laws and regulations regarding email fundraising.
In conclusion, while the provided documents do not explicitly state the requirements for email fundraising in Utah, it is important to comply with federal regulations such as the Franking Regulations and the 90-Day Ban on Unsolicited Mass Communications. It is also recommended to seek legal advice to ensure compliance with state laws and regulations.
