Idaho H0970 amends election laws to prevent foreign influence, mandate additional reporting, and restrict donor information release.

Idaho H0970 amends existing law to prohibit foreign influence in elections, requiring political committees to certify that no preliminary activities were funded by foreign nationals and that donors are not foreign nationals. It mandates reporting of contributions over $50 and expenditures over $25, including details of recipients. The bill restricts the release of donor information, prohibiting state or local entities from disclosing donor identities unless related to a violation. Violations are subject to penalties, with knowing or willful violations being felonies.
