(1) Persons voluntarily registering a committee. A person that has not exceeded the $1,000 financial filing threshold may file Form DR-SFA for purposes of using the short form "paid for by" attribution statement under Iowa Code section 68A.405 and rule 351-4.38 (68A). A person using the short form "paid for by" attribution statement shall file Form DR-SFA with the board prior to distributing the political material containing the short form "paid for by" attribution statement.

(2) $1,000 threshold later exceeded. A person filing Form DR-SFA shall not be required to file a statement of organization or be required to file disclosure reports unless the $1,000 threshold is later exceeded. A person that later exceeds the $1,000 threshold and that fails to timely file a statement of organization or to timely file disclosure reports may be subject to the appropriate board sanctions as set out by statute and board rule.

(3) Subsequent elections. A person that filed Form DR-SFA for one election and then becomes involved in a subsequent election and wants to voluntarily register a committee shall file either a new Form DR-SFA or file an amended Form DR-SFA, which provides information concerning the new election.

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 68A.201 and 68A.405.
