Finding aid encoded by Cheri Thies, December 2010. Finding aid written in English. OVERVIEW Minnesota Historical Society Minnesota. Campaign Finance & Public Disclosure Board. Conciliation agreements and findings. 1974-2007. Materials in English. The Campaign Finance & Public Disclosure Board offers conciliation agreements to campaign finance clients who make excess expenditures or have made or received excess contributions. A conciliation agreement, when signed by the board chair and the client, is a bar to any civil proceeding. Conciliation agreements become a matter of public record when signed by the board chair and the client. The board issues findings if a conciliation agreement cannot be reached or if the board determines there is probable cause to believe that a violation of other provisions of the Ethics in Government Act [Minn. Stat. c10A] has occurred. Board findings become public when signed by the board chair. Each folder includes a detailed listing of the committee/individual involved and the outcome in each proceeding. 1.2 cu. ft. (1 box; 1 partial box). See Detailed Description for shelf locations. SCOPE AND CONTENTS
