Commissioner of revenue required to establish an online system to claim the political contribution refund, political contribution refund program modified to allow for electronic information transfer between the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board and the Department of Revenue, data classified, and money appropriated.

HF 1168 requires Minnesota's Commissioner of Revenue to create an online system for individuals to claim refunds on political contributions. It modifies the existing refund program to allow electronic data sharing between the Campaign Finance Board and the Department of Revenue, including contributor names, contribution amounts, and unique receipt validation numbers. All shared data is classified as nonpublic, protecting contributor privacy while enabling streamlined refund processing. This change affects political contributors seeking refunds, political parties/candidates issuing refund receipts, and the agencies managing campaign finance data, replacing paper-based processes with digital systems effective January 2027.
