1. Economic Interest Statement Filing Deadlines:

   • Individuals must file a statement of economic interest within specific time frames depending on their role.
     
   • Candidates for elective state constitutional or legislative offices, or for elective local offices in a metropolitan governmental unit (other than county commissioner), must file within 14 days after the candidate filing period ends (previously, this deadline was different).
     

2. Amended Statutes:

   • The bill modifies Minnesota Statutes 2024, Sections 10A.09 (pertaining to economic interest statements), 205.13 (concerning election filing periods), and 211A.02 (related to campaign financial reporting requirements).
     

Overall, this bill adjusts filing timelines to ensure timely disclosure of economic interests and campaign reporting for candidates and public officials in Minnesota.
