Amends existing law to prohibit certain out-of-state persons from making campaign contributions or independent expenditures.
CAMPAIGN FINANCE -- Amends existing law to prohibit certain out-of-state persons from making campaign contributions or independent expenditures.
CAMPAIGN FINANCE
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The growth of out of state contributions to Idaho election campaigns has been dramatic in recent years and should concern every Idahoan. During the 2024 election cycle, more money was spent from out of state on negative advertising than from within the state. In light of this, this legislation modifies Section 67-6610D of Idaho Code, which prohibits foreign contributions to elections, and adds out of state contributions and expenditures to the list of prohibited categories.
