CAMPAIGN FINANCE – Amends existing law to provide for certain donor disclosures for certain contributions.

S 1186 (Idaho) amends campaign finance laws to require greater transparency about large campaign donors. The bill mandates that non-business entities, political committees, and individuals making independent expenditures must disclose contributions exceeding $50, including the source of funds. It updates reporting requirements for signature gatherers and revises rules to clarify who must identify contributors, aiming to reduce "dark money" influence in elections. This directly affects political committees, independent spenders, and campaign finance reporters by requiring them to publicly disclose major donors. The legislation seeks to address public concerns about undisclosed funding shaping election outcomes.
