The section explicitly codifies a contribution limit of $10,000 in statute for legal defense funds, with the limit amount and applicability period defined in the statutory text itself. The framework is set by statute, not delegated to administrative discretion, and includes a defined penalty (category E felony) for violation.

The statute explicitly defines the persons subject to independent-expenditure reporting rules (subsection 1(a)) and establishes detailed, enumerated reporting deadlines and thresholds (subsections 2-7). The framework is codified in NRS § 294A.210 with clear statutory grounding for who must report, what triggers reporting ($1,000 threshold), and when reports are due. While enforcement mechanisms and penalties are not detailed in this section itself, the procedural requirements for independent-expenditure disclosure are comprehensively specified in statute.

The statute explicitly defines the disclosure threshold for in-kind contributions at $100 in subsection 1(a), and alternatively by cumulative amount in 1(b). The threshold is codified directly in the statute (NRS § 294A.362), not delegated to regulation or administrative discretion. This satisfies the procedural requirement that disclosure thresholds be statutorily grounded.

The statute explicitly requires disclosure of contributor name and address for contributions exceeding $100, satisfying the basic identity requirement. However, it does not mandate disclosure of occupation or employer information, which are the full identity markers specified in the criterion. The procedural framework is statutorily grounded and enumerated, but incomplete on the scope of identity disclosure.

The statute codifies a civil penalty schedule with a specified maximum amount ($10,000 per violation) and enumerated escalating penalties for late-filed reports ($25/day for up to 7 days late; $50/day for 8-15 days late; $100/day for 15+ days late). However, the section does not define criminal penalties within its text (criminal penalties are referenced as existing elsewhere in NRS 199.120, 199.145, or 239.330, not codified here), so the score is 1 (civil only) rather than 2.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses election-contest procedures (challenging election results) and filing requirements for candidate-election disputes, not campaign-finance violations or private enforcement mechanisms. It establishes procedural rules for contesting elections but contains no provision creating a private right of action for campaign-finance violations.

NRS § 294A.325 explicitly prohibits foreign nationals from making contributions directly or indirectly to candidates and campaign committees via statute. The prohibition is enumerated exhaustively across multiple recipient categories (candidates, PACs, political parties, etc.), backed by a defined penalty (gross misdemeanor under subsection 5), and includes a verification procedure (subsection 3 allows reliance on U.S. passport documentation as a safe harbor). The statute provides clear statutory grounding without delegating the core prohibition to regulation or administrative discretion.

The statute prohibits foreign nationals from making contributions 'directly or indirectly,' which nominally addresses pass-through channels. However, the section lacks statutory mechanisms for detecting or verifying indirect contributions (such as corporate-ownership tracing, beneficial-ownership disclosure, or LLC-member identification requirements). The verification procedure in subsection 3 addresses only direct contributions via passport verification, not indirect foreign control of domestic entities. Enforcement relies on the recipient's knowledge or reasonable inquiry, but no statutory procedure requires systematic tracing of entity ownership.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: NRS § 293C.185 addresses candidate declaration of candidacy requirements, including filing procedures, proof of identity and residency, and oaths. It does not contain any requirements for campaign committees to retain records such as contributor lists, expenditure documentation, or bank statements. The section's retention requirement (subsection 5) applies only to filing officers retaining copies of candidate identity and residency proofs, not to campaign committees retaining campaign finance records.
