A bill to amend chapter 30 of title 39, United States Code, to designate certain solicitations in the mails as nonmailable matter, and for other purposes.
Deceptive Mailings Prevention Act of 1989 - Amends Federal law to declare as nonmailable any mail matter which is designed to resemble a bill, invoice, or statement of account due, but which in fact constitutes a solicitation of donations. Requires such mail matter to bear on its face in conspicuous type that it is a solicitation of donations and that the addressee is under no obligation to make any payment.
Declares as nonmailable any mail matter which constitutes a solicitation by a non-governmental entity and which contains a seal, insignia, term, or symbol which reasonably could be interpreted as implying Government connection, approval, or endorsement. Allows the mailing of such matter if it contains a conspicuous disclaimer that it is not a Government document.
Sets forth procedures governing the handling of matter suspected of being nonmailable matter.
