Overview: SJR 38 is a joint resolution relating to an advisory referendum on a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Purpose and Intent: The resolution seeks to have Wisconsin voters advise the state legislature on whether they support a federal constitutional amendment that would limit the influence of money in elections and establish that only human beings, not corporations, are entitled to constitutional rights.
Key Provisions:
- Directs the Wisconsin Elections Commission to hold an advisory referendum on the proposed constitutional amendment at the next general election
- Requires the referendum question to be phrased to allow voters to indicate whether they support or oppose the proposed amendment
Affected Parties and Impacts: If approved, the advisory referendum would provide guidance to the Wisconsin legislature on whether to support the proposed constitutional amendment. However, the referendum itself would not change any laws or have a direct legal impact.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The resolution is currently available for scheduling in the Wisconsin legislature. If adopted, the advisory referendum would be placed on the ballot for the next general election.
