A bill for an act relating to matters before the Iowa ethics and campaign disclosure board, including campaign finance filings and attribution statements.

HF 544 updates Iowa's campaign finance rules by requiring political committees and candidate committees to include electronic mail addresses in their filings and extending the deadline for electronic submissions to 11:59 p.m. on the due date. It prohibits all candidates (not just those for statewide or legislative office) from establishing, directing, or maintaining political committees. The bill also expands the definition of "published material" to include radio and internet advertising, requiring attribution statements disclosing who paid for such ads advocating for candidates or ballot issues. Additionally, it mandates that the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board's chair and vice chair be from different political parties.
