STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30902 / S1218
This legislation amends Idaho’s Sunshine laws for campaign finance reporting. For contributions to candidates
and political committees, there is already a requirement that all donations be associated with the name of the
contributor. However, currently aggregate contributions less than $50 may be reported to the secretary of
state as unitemized. This legislation eliminates that provision, increases transparency and simplifies campaign
finance reporting by requiring all contributions to be filed with a contributor’s name and address.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation has no fiscal impact for the state of Idaho since the current campaign finance system already
accommodates the reporting required in this legislation.
