SF 4513 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Prohibit corporation and limited liability company powers related to election activity

This bill prohibits corporations and limited liability companies from participating in election activities, including donating money or resources to support or oppose candidates, political parties, or ballot measures. It directly affects business entities incorporated in Minnesota by explicitly removing their legal authority to engage in political spending or influence elections. The law defines election activity as any monetary or in-kind contribution made to aid, promote, or defeat candidates, parties, or ballot questions, and clarifies that such powers are not granted through corporate charters or state statutes. Additionally, the bill establishes that corporate actions taken in violation of this prohibition would be considered unauthorized, though it outlines specific legal procedures for challenging such actions in court.
