H.R. 4621 Prevent Deceptive Census Look Alike Mailings Act

H.R. 4621 would require that all mailings soliciting information, contribution of funds, or the sale of a product or service, and which have the term “census” on the outside of the envelope, include an accurate return address and the name of the sender on the envelope.

H.R. 4621, the “Prevent Deceptive Census Look Alike Mailings Act,” was introduced on February 9, 2010 by Rep. Maloney. Where an envelope bears the word “census,” H.R. 4621 would also automatically trigger existing legal requirements to include disclaimers indicating that the mailing is not from the federal government.
