What’s in it

This bill prohibits a candidate for public office or a candidate’s committee from accepting contributions of greater than $1 from a person not living in or incorporated or organized under the laws of this state. The bill states the general assembly’s recognition that persons who are not residents of Iowa have the right to free speech under the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States and may have a passing interest in elections in Iowa but that the general assembly finds that it is in the best interest of the residents of Iowa for elections in Iowa to be influenced and funded by residents of Iowa.
