TRANSPARENCY IN LEGISLATIVE TRAVEL – Adds to existing law to require legislative candidates, legislators, and members-elect of the Legislature to report certain travel paid by others.
H 378 requires Idaho legislators, legislative candidates, and members-elect to publicly report travel outside Idaho paid for by others (like donors or organizations), aiming to increase transparency. Officials must disclose the destination, travel dates, purpose, and the name/address of the payer - excluding travel covered by existing campaign fund reports or personal funds. Failure to report within 30 days incurs a $25 daily late fee deposited into public school funds. The law applies to all legislative officeholders and candidates, effective July 1, 2025.
