Bill > SB393

This bill revises Montana's campaign finance laws. Key provisions include: 1. Removing the requirement that campaign treasurers must be registered voters, and instead requiring them to be Montana residents. 2. Eliminating the requirement for unopposed candidates to file 48-hour reports for large contributions or expenditures made close to an election. 3. Clarifying that campaign finance reports are due by 11:59 PM on the due date. 4. Providing exceptions to certain disclosure requirements related to debts and obligations, and 48-hour reports. 5. Revising reporting requirements for incidental committees, including allowing them to report expenditures within 30 days unless made close to an election, and only requiring them to report the information provided by contributors on occupation and employer.
