HSB 110 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

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

This bill updates Iowa's campaign finance rules by requiring political committees and candidate committees to include electronic mail addresses when filing with the ethics board. It extends the deadline for electronic filings to 11:59 p.m. on the due date (previously 4:30 p.m.) and prohibits all candidates - not just those running 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 ads, mandating that such ads advocating for or against candidates or ballot issues must disclose who paid for them. These changes apply directly to candidates, their committees, and political committees handling campaign finances.
