Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to campaign finance; modifying the definition of administrative action as it applies to the Public Utilities Commission; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 10A.01, subdivision 2.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the legal definition of "administrative action" specifically as it relates to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) in Minnesota's campaign finance statutes. Currently, administrative action is defined as an executive branch action to adopt, amend, or repeal a rule, with some existing exclusions. The bill expands the definition to explicitly include any power or duty exercised by the PUC under statute or adopted rule, which was previously not clearly specified. This means that more actions taken by the PUC would now be considered administrative actions, potentially broadening the scope of what can be considered in campaign finance contexts. The change appears to provide greater clarity and comprehensiveness in defining the PUC's regulatory actions, which could have implications for transparency and reporting requirements in campaign finance regulations.
