Revise candidate campaign finance reporting laws

Complete·5/13/25

Montana HB770 revises campaign finance reporting laws, clarifying reporting requirements and consequences for non-compliance.

Montana HB770 amends campaign finance reporting laws by specifying when candidates and political committees must file reports. It mandates that candidates file reports even if no contributions or expenditures were made. The bill sets specific deadlines for filing these reports, including quarterly, monthly, and special election periods. Non-compliance with these reporting requirements results in the candidate's removal from the ballot. The bill also clarifies that candidates must file reports if they participate in an election by receiving a contribution or making an expenditure.
