The bill S.F. No. 3045 addresses various aspects of state government operations in Minnesota, establishing a biennial budget that allocates funds to state agencies, constitutional offices, and programs, including the Minnesota Historical Society and the Minnesota Humanities Center. It introduces new appropriations for public television and radio grants, taxpayer assistance, and tax credit outreach, while also modifying existing laws related to campaign finance and election administration. Key changes include the establishment of a new Special Reviews Division within the Financial Audits Division of the Office of the Legislative Auditor, which enhances oversight and accountability, and the introduction of provisions for data sharing to combat fraud in public programs.
Additionally, the bill amends several sections of Minnesota Statutes to improve election processes, including allowing individuals to register to vote on election day and updating requirements for absentee voting. It introduces a Voter's Bill of Rights, ensuring voters are informed of their rights and can access assistance as needed. The bill also emphasizes the importance of transparency in lobbying and campaign finance, expanding definitions and reporting requirements for lobbyists. Overall, S.F. No. 3045 aims to streamline state operations, enhance election integrity, and ensure proper funding for essential services while promoting accountability and transparency in government processes.
