Modification of actions that are noncoordinated expenditures

SF 3886 clarifies which campaign activities do not count as "coordinated expenditures" between candidates and independent spenders, directly affecting political committees, independent groups, and candidates. It specifies nine actions that do not create coordination, such as using publicly available candidate materials, linking to a candidate's website, or sharing donor lists under specific conditions. The bill also updates disclaimer requirements for campaign materials, requiring clearer identification of who paid for ads (e.g., "Paid for by [committee]") and simplifying rules for online content and news coverage. These changes aim to reduce ambiguity in Minnesota's campaign finance rules while maintaining transparency for voters.
