The section provides explicit statutory codification of independent-expenditure rules, including: a clear triggering threshold ($1,000 cumulative), a mandatory filing deadline (31 calendar days), identification of the filing recipient (chief election officer), required disclosure fields (filer identity, expenditure date/amount/recipient, candidate/proposition affected, goods/services description, and donor information for donors of $1,000+), and certification requirements. These procedural elements are enumerated exhaustively in the statute rather than delegated to regulation or administrative discretion.

“within 31 calendar days after the day on which a person has made a total of at least $1,000 in independent expenditures during an election cycle, the person shall file an independent expenditure report with the chief election officer”

Section (5) of UCA § 20A-11-401 provides explicit statutory procedure for anonymous contributions: it defines the trigger (cash or negotiable instrument exceeding $50 from unknown source), the deadline (31 calendar days), and the exhaustive permitted dispositions (forfeiture to state/subdivision general fund or IRC 501(c)(3)/(19) organization). This meets the statutory-enumeration standard for anonymous-contribution treatment.

The section explicitly defines in statute a disclosure threshold of $50 per contributor: contributions of $50 or less may be aggregated without separate listing, while contributions exceeding $50 (individually or in aggregate from the same source) must be reported separately. This establishes the threshold in statutory language rather than delegating it to regulation or administrative discretion.

“For all individual contributions of $50 or less, a single aggregate figure may be reported without separate detailed listings.”

Section 20A-11-801 establishes registration and officer-disclosure requirements for political issues committees but does not itself specify what contributor-identity fields must be disclosed in contribution reports. The section mandates that committees report 'each contribution received' but the text is truncated before detailing the required disclosure fields. Subsection (3) requires detailed officer information (names, addresses, occupations) but does not enumerate contributor-identity requirements. To fully satisfy DISC.3, the statute would need to explicitly require name, address, occupation, and employer for contributions above a threshold—which is not evident in this section.

“Each political issues committee shall report to the lieutenant governor each contribution received by the political i”

The statute explicitly requires the lieutenant governor to make campaign finance statements publicly available within defined timeframes: one business day for inspection/copying and three business days for posting electronic copies online. The section also mandates a searchable website for identifying contributions and expenditures across all filing entities. These are clear statutory procedural requirements with specific deadlines, satisfying the public-access element of DISC.4.

The statute specifies both civil penalties ($100 fine under Subsection 4(a)) and criminal penalties (class B misdemeanor under Subsection 4(b)(ii)(B) for failure to comply with filing requirements). The penalty amounts and criminal grades are explicitly codified in the statute, satisfying the requirement for a defined penalty schedule.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses midterm vacancies in municipal offices and establishes procedures for filling them through municipal legislative body appointment. It does not discuss campaign-finance enforcement, enforcement bodies, their appointment processes, or protection from political control. The section is entirely outside the scope of campaign-finance regulation and enforcement infrastructure.

Section 20A-11-1104(6)(a) explicitly establishes a private right of action by permitting 'a person' to bring a civil action against creators or sponsors of synthetic media in campaign communications, with a defined penalty structure (up to $1,000 per violation). This provides clear statutory authorization for private enforcement of the synthetic-media disclosure requirements codified in this section.

“In a civil action brought against the creator or the sponsor of content that includes synthetic media by a person to enforce this section, the court may impose a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000 against a person for each violation of this section that the court finds a person has committed.”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses poll-worker conduct during vote counting and does not pertain to campaign finance, foreign-source contributions, or indirect funding channels. It is a criminal-conduct statute governing election administration, not a campaign-finance rule.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 20A-11-101 is a definitions section that establishes terminology for Utah's campaign-finance rules (e.g., 'contribution,' 'candidate,' 'agent'). It does not impose verification requirements on campaign committees regarding foreign-source contributors. The section does not address verification procedures, enforcement mechanisms, or any statutory mandate that committees affirmatively verify contributor nationality or foreign status. Foreign-source verification requirements, if they exist in Utah law, would be found in operative provisions governing contribution receipt and reporting, not in this definitional section.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: UCA § 20A-5-403.5 addresses ballot drop box procedures, video surveillance, and public notice requirements — procedural matters relating to voting infrastructure and ballot security. It contains no statutory requirement for campaign committees to retain records (contributor lists, expenditure documentation, or bank statements). This section is entirely outside the scope of campaign-finance record retention.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses ballot design and candidate ordering procedures, not campaign-committee records, audits, or audit access. It contains no provisions regarding mandatory audits of campaign finances, record retention, or audit procedures. The section is entirely concerned with the mechanics of how candidates' names appear on ballots.
