CAMPAIGN FINANCE – Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to provide for campaign finance transparency.

Idaho's H 399 establishes new campaign finance transparency rules by creating a comprehensive Chapter 3 in Idaho Code. The bill requires candidates, political action committees (PACs), and political parties to disclose all contributions and expenditures, including the source of funds, and bans foreign contributions or electioneering communications. It mandates that campaign finance reports be certified by the Secretary of State, sets contribution limits for candidates, and requires political treasurers to manage funds and report spending. The law also prohibits coordination between candidates and independent spending groups and imposes penalties for violations, affecting all state and local election campaigns.
