Generally revise business disclosure statement requirements for elected officials and department directors

This bill updates Montana's business disclosure requirements for elected officials, candidates, department directors, and appointees to ensure transparency about their financial interests. It mandates that these individuals file statements with the commissioner of political practices detailing their business affiliations, employment benefits, ownership stakes in companies, directorships, and real property holdings. The law also allows officials to certify that their financial information has not changed since their last filing and requires the commissioner to make these documents publicly available upon request.
