The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 10A.09, subdivision 1, to require certain officials in cities of the first, second, or third class to file a statement of economic interest with the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board. This new requirement is included in the filing timeline for public officials, which mandates that individuals must file their statements within 60 days of accepting employment as a public official, metropolitan governmental unit, or local official in the specified cities.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the filing deadlines for various public officials, including district court judges, appeals court judges, supreme court justices, and county commissioners, as well as candidates for elective offices. The amendment replaces the previous language that allowed for a broader interpretation of who must file, specifically by removing the word "or" and inserting a more detailed description of the officials required to comply with the filing mandate.
