Are there any restrictions on advertising of services provided by the Federal or state governments?

Yes, there are restrictions on advertising of services provided by the Federal or state governments in California. California law prohibits any form of false or deceptive advertising. This means any advertisement of a service provided by the Federal or state governments must accurately reflect the service and cannot contain false or misleading statements. This also applies to any claims made about the service or its benefits. In addition, all advertising must include any known material risks associated with the service being advertised. Further, any claims made in the advertisement must be supported by scientific or empirical evidence and legally compliant. Any advertisement of a government service must not include any false information or contain any information that could be considered a misrepresentation. Finally, the laws governing the advertisement of any government service must comply with any relevant regulations, guidelines, or orders issued by the Federal or California governments. This includes any rules or regulations specific to the service being advertised. Failure to comply with these laws may result in legal action against the advertiser and may include fines, damages, or other penalties.
