HF600

This bill aims to regulate the funding of political parties and candidates in Minnesota. Specifically, it prohibits major political parties and candidates for legislative or constitutional office from accepting contributions from lobbyists, political committees, political funds, or unregistered associations during the legislative session. Additionally, the bill bans these groups from making contributions to the candidates and parties during this period. If contributions are made to attend events or gain access to facilities operated by political parties or candidates' committees during the legislative session, these actions are considered violations of the law. Essentially, the goal is to prevent influence from external financial interests on politicians while the legislature is in session.
