S.1449

Idaho S1449 revises election laws to mandate disclosures by paid canvassers and update signature gatherer rules.

Idaho S1449 amends existing election laws to require individuals engaged in paid in-person canvasses to disclose their compensation and wear a badge identifying their role. It also mandates that signature gatherers must be Idaho residents and at least 18 years old. The bill voids petitions with non-physical signatures and those gathered in violation of the new disclosure requirements. It further outlines civil and criminal penalties for violations and specifies the venue for prosecution. The Idaho secretary of state is tasked with implementing these provisions through rules.
