Overview: LC 656, "Senate resolution to support US constitutional amendment for campaign finance limits", is a bill with a status of "Draft Delivered to Requester" that was introduced on October 30, 2024.
Purpose and Intent: The resolution expresses the state legislature's support for a federal constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision and impose stricter limits on campaign finance and political spending.
Key Provisions:
- Calls on the US Congress to propose a constitutional amendment to address the influence of money in politics
- Urges the state's congressional delegation to support and vote for such an amendment
- Directs the state legislature to formally notify Congress of its support for campaign finance reform
Affected Parties and Impacts: The resolution would primarily impact the state's federal representatives, as well as political donors, campaign organizations, and advocacy groups involved in the campaign finance debate. If successful, it could contribute to momentum for a constitutional amendment at the national level.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: As a "Draft Delivered to Requester", the resolution is in the early stages of the legislative process. It will need to be formally introduced, considered in committee, and passed by both the state Senate and House before being sent to the governor.
