What’s in it

AI summary People running for public office in Iowa would have to follow the same rules for campaign donations as federal candidates. If someone breaks these rules on purpose, they could face criminal charges, jail time, or fines. The law also allows for other penalties, such as official reprimands or civil fines.1

Read the official explanation

This bill imposes campaign contribution limits on candidates for public office that are identical to those set forth in federal campaign finance regulations. A person who willfully violates the bill is, pursuant to Code section 68A.701, guilty of a serious misdemeanor. A serious misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than one year and a fine of at least $430 but not more than $2,560. A variety of civil remedies are also available in Code section 68B.32D for a violation of the bill, ranging from a reprimand to a civil penalty of not more than $2,000.
