This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement, section 270C.445, subdivision 3, to enhance the standards of conduct for tax preparers. It introduces a new provision that prohibits tax preparers from marking a tax return to designate a contribution to the state elections campaign account unless they receive explicit instruction from the taxpayer. This addition aims to protect taxpayers' autonomy and ensure that contributions to political campaigns are made only with their informed consent.

Additionally, the bill removes a previous provision that required tax preparers to provide all disclosures required by the federal Truth in Lending Act when making, providing, or facilitating a refund anticipation loan. The overall intent of the bill is to strengthen consumer protections in tax preparation services by ensuring that tax preparers act in the best interests of their clients and maintain transparency in their practices.
