The bill amends Section 13-37-226 of the Montana Code Annotated to revise campaign finance reporting requirements. It clarifies that candidates must file reports even if they have no contributions or expenditures to report. Additionally, the bill stipulates that failure to comply with these reporting requirements will result in a candidate's name being removed from the official ballot for an election.

The new legal language inserted into the bill emphasizes the necessity for candidates to submit reports regardless of their financial activity, thereby enhancing transparency in campaign finance. Furthermore, the bill outlines specific timelines for filing these reports, ensuring that candidates and political committees adhere to strict deadlines throughout the election cycle.
