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

Idaho's H 442 overhauls campaign finance laws to increase transparency. It requires all campaign contributions, expenditures, and paid election ads (including polls) to clearly disclose the source of funding, prohibits foreign contributions or influence, and sets new limits on donations to candidates. The bill establishes detailed reporting rules for candidates, political action committees (PACs), and political parties, including mandatory treasurer appointments and restrictions on how funds can be used. These changes directly affect candidates, PACs, political parties, and voters by making campaign funding more visible. The law also adds disclosure requirements for signature gatherers and updates enforcement mechanisms for violations.
