This bill amends Section 67-6607 of the Idaho Code to require candidates for political office to file a statement of compensation received from the federal government with the Secretary of State. The new legal language specifies that this statement must include any compensation received by the candidate for employment or services rendered. Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for reporting contributions and expenditures, including the need to itemize contributions over $50 and expenditures over $25, while also detailing the reporting schedule for election and non-election years.

The bill also establishes a notification requirement for candidates and political committees to inform the Secretary of State of any contributions of $1,000 or more within 48 hours of receipt. All reports must be filed online by the specified deadlines, and the bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025.
