AI Summary

  • Expands the definition of noncoordinated expenditures to include candidate requests that spenders not make electioneering communications referencing the candidate or their opponent, in addition to existing provisions about independent expenditures

  • Updates disclaimer requirements for campaign materials by removing the word "Prepared" from required disclaimers, changing language from "Prepared and Paid for by" to simply "Paid for by"

  • Modernizes media terminology in disclaimer rules by replacing "broadcast" with "audio or video media" and expanding the definition to include cable, streaming television, websites, and internet publications

  • Requires electronic communications that cannot feasibly include full disclaimers to state the responsible party's name and link directly to an online page containing only the disclaimer, with potential review by the Campaign Finance Board or Office of Administrative Hearings

  • Repeals Minnesota Rules part 4503.2000, subpart 2, which previously allowed certain digital communications (social media, text messages, mobile apps, online ads) to satisfy disclaimer requirements by linking to a disclaimer page
