Major political parties acceptance of contributions during the legislative session prohibition

SF 642 prohibits Minnesota political parties from accepting contributions from registered lobbyists, political committees, or unregistered associations during regular legislative sessions. It also bans these entities from making such contributions to parties or party committees within the legislature. Key provisions specifically forbid contributions for events (like fundraisers) or facility access during sessions, even if made outside the session. This directly affects political parties, lobbyists, and political committees operating in Minnesota's legislature during active sessions. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 10A.273 to enforce these restrictions.
