Bill > HF976

This bill modifies the state's campaign finance law by increasing the amount of money transferred from the general fund to the state elections campaign account. Specifically, the bill changes the appropriation for each general election from $2,432,000 to $4,432,000, effectively adding $2 million to the campaign account. The bill maintains the existing provision that allows individual taxpayers to designate money for the state elections campaign account, with 3% of those designated funds being retained in the general fund for administrative costs and the remaining 97% transferred to the campaign account. This change could potentially provide more resources for election-related activities and campaign financing in Minnesota, though the bill does not specify the exact intended use of the additional funds.
