The bill proposes a new provision in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 211B, that prohibits entities or organizations, including nonprofit organizations, from making campaign expenditures or spending money for any political purpose if they receive state funding. The definition of "state funding" encompasses public funds received through direct appropriations or various forms of grants. This measure aims to ensure that public resources are not used to influence political outcomes.
Additionally, the bill specifies that this prohibition will take effect on July 1, 2025. By implementing this regulation, the legislation seeks to maintain the integrity of public funding and prevent potential conflicts of interest in political campaigning.
