Elections policy and finance bill.
This bill, known as the Elections policy and finance bill, provides funding and updates policies related to elections, campaign finance, lobbying, and redistricting in Minnesota. It establishes a new Minnesota Voting Rights Act and modifies laws regarding the use of deep fakes to influence elections, while also adjusting certain notary rules. The legislation appropriates money to the Secretary of State for specific purposes, including grants to improve polling place access for individuals with disabilities and to educate formerly incarcerated individuals about their right to vote. Additionally, it adjusts funding transfers between state accounts to support voting operations and technology resources.
