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

This Idaho bill establishes a comprehensive campaign finance transparency framework that applies to candidates, political action committees, political party committees, and electioneering communications. The legislation requires detailed reporting of all contributions and expenditures, mandates the appointment of political treasurers to oversee campaign finances, and prohibits foreign contributions and independent expenditures. It also mandates that polls funded by others must disclose their payers and requires disclosure of payments made to signature gatherers. The bill creates new administrative duties for the Secretary of State and county clerks while establishing civil penalties and enforcement mechanisms for violations.
