Theoretically truth should be empirical in some fashion so you can actually attest to it in some way.

I'm not absolutely certain that's plausible in every instance, though.

This. If this was in place, you're risking turning into North Korea or something when someone abuses the system and overrides everyone elses "truths" with their own "truths"

I thought they went out of business after the world went too clown for them to actually make up things that sounded funnier than the absurdity that reality was taking.

Scientists, investigators, experts, etc.

All the people that the right is trying to cancel, basically.

I haven't heard someone pull put an "expert" perspective in awhile. I thought that became kind of disgraced with how silly and wrong a lot of them ended up being. It felt like it was just people who found a jacket that said "expert" laying on the ground

Im not saying that's all it took to be considered an "expert". But the internet started calling out all the dumb ones and it became an overall nothing title since the focus was on the negative

Ideally the person or people with said legal authority would listen to the experts knowledgeable on the subject and make their ruling based on that.

This is assuming we live in a society without biased, activist judges in the pocket of a major political party seeking to discredit experts.

Red states are in the process of banning information and people just because it/they are left-leaning.

Therr are already weak laws on upholding the truth, they just need to be strengthened. That's certainly better than restricting information just because it's politically inconvenient.

Eh... I feel like that would get abused. Especially since the wealthy would somehow avoid having to pay fines anyway.

I feel like lies are deliberate and malicious, designed to deceive and mislead.

Nontruths are like rejecting facts and just raging that no one believes your take.

I think this would have a lot of unintended consequences for the people voting Yes. For instance, what would be considered a nontruth in regards to the Rittenhouse incident?

The thing about suggestions like this is that it kind of glazes over who decides if something is a non-truth or not. Do you want this iteration of the GOP to have appointing or deciding authority for if something spoken or written is finable or not?
