Generally revise campaign finance laws to increase transparency
This bill requires Montana's campaign electronic reporting system to generate a unique web address for every file, report, and search result it maintains. The change directly affects political campaigns, candidates, and the public by making it easier to locate and verify campaign finance information online. The legislation does not alter existing reporting requirements but adds a technical feature to improve data accessibility. It takes effect on July 1, 2025, and applies to all campaign filings processed through the state system.
