This bill allows candidates or their committees to use campaign funds for personal and home security expenses, provided that the payments made to security providers are reasonable. It mandates that candidates maintain a detailed log of these expenses, including the date, provider's name, and cost, which must be submitted in reports to the Iowa ethics and campaign disclosure board. The log must be preserved for five years after the report submission or three years after the committee's dissolution. Additionally, the bill defines personal and home security expenses to encompass costs related to firearms, firearm equipment, and training.

The legislation also establishes penalties for violations of campaign finance laws under Code chapter 68A. Individuals who breach these provisions may face civil penalties, including remedial actions, reprimands, and fines up to $2,000. Furthermore, willful violations are classified as serious misdemeanors, which can result in confinement for up to one year and fines ranging from $430 to $2,560.
