This bill addresses various aspects of campaign finance in Minnesota, primarily focusing on data privacy and the disclosure of information by the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board. It prohibits the Board from posting the street addresses of individuals on its website as part of campaign reports, classifying such data as nonpublic or private. Additionally, the bill modifies the requirements for disclaimers on political materials and updates the content requirements for local campaign finance reports. The Board is also mandated to comply with these new provisions within six months of the bill's effective date, or to report on any compliance issues to the relevant legislative committees.

Key amendments include the removal of the requirement for treasurers to be the only individuals who can access data in the electronic reporting system, allowing for broader access while ensuring that street addresses remain confidential. The bill also revises the information required in economic interest statements and campaign finance reports, specifically removing the need to disclose street addresses while still requiring other identifying information. Overall, the bill aims to enhance privacy protections for individuals involved in campaign finance while ensuring transparency in the reporting process.
