Allows candidates to use campaign funds for dependent care expenses under specific conditions.

This bill allows candidates to use campaign funds for dependent care expenses if the expense is directly related to campaign activities or official duties post-election, the candidate would not have needed the care but for their candidacy, the payment is reasonable, and the care provider is not a spouse or dependent child. Candidates must keep detailed logs of these expenses, which must be provided to the Iowa ethics and campaign disclosure board during audits.
