Idaho H0501 amends ballot measure laws to require signature gatherers to be qualified electors and to mandate paid gatherers to disclose their payors.
Idaho H0501 amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the circulation of petitions for initiatives and referendums. It requires that any person circulating a petition must be a resident qualified elector of Idaho and at least eighteen years old. For those accepting payment to circulate petitions, it mandates they verbally notify potential signatories of their compensation and wear a badge that states "paid petition circulator" and the name of the payor. The bill also voids petitions with signatures obtained by non-qualified electors or those using non-physical signatures.
