LC 2880 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise candidate campaign finance reporting laws

This bill updates Montana's campaign finance reporting laws to require candidates to file reports even when they have received no contributions or made no expenditures, ensuring transparency for all candidates running for office. It establishes specific deadlines for quarterly, monthly, and special election reports, with stricter timing requirements for contributions and expenditures made close to election day. The legislation also clarifies that failure to file required reports will result in a candidate's name being removed from the official ballot, while providing exemptions for candidates not facing opposition and adjusting reporting thresholds for local offices.
