The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 204B.32, by adding a new subdivision that prohibits counties, municipalities, and school districts from accepting contributions for election expenses from for-profit businesses or nonprofit organizations. This prohibition applies regardless of any home rule charter or local ordinance that may allow such contributions.

Specifically, the new legal language states that these entities cannot accept any form of contribution intended to cover expenses related to conducting federal, state, or local elections. This measure aims to ensure the integrity of election financing at the local level by restricting the sources of funding that can be used for election-related costs.
