SF 3644 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Statement of economic interest requirement to include disclosures relating to stock and virtual currency

Minnesota's SF 3644 amends campaign finance disclosure rules to require state officials to report digital assets like cryptocurrency and NFTs valued over $10,000 in their economic interest statements. The bill adds "digital asset" to the definition (including stablecoins and NFTs) and mandates disclosure of ownership and transactions for these assets, similar to existing stock reporting requirements. This affects legislators, appointed officials, and other public officers who file annual economic interest statements. The changes take effect January 1, 2027, expanding transparency requirements for virtual assets in public financial disclosures.
