Idaho Bills

Amends existing law to require paid signature gatherers to disclose that they are being paid and to revise provisions regarding the collection of signatures for ballot measures.

This proposal requires people who are paid to gather signatures for initiatives and referenda to verbally inform potential signers of petitions for an initiative or referendum that he or she is paid to gather signatures. Additionally, the petition employed by a paid signature gatherer must prominently state that the signature gatherer is receiving payment in exchange for circulating the petition. Lastly, the paid petition gatherers must wear a badge that clearly identifies them as a "Paid Petition Circulator."
