MODERATE

The bill moved from an introduced draft to a Senate engrossed version, which primarily involved formatting and structural changes rather than substantive policy modifications. The core prohibition on foreign contributions to influence ballot measure elections remains unchanged, along with the certification requirements and tribal exemptions.

TECHNICAL

Removed the reference title and introductory legislative session headers, replacing them with standard Senate engrossed formatting and page numbering.

Changed the act title from 'AN ACT' to 'AN ACT' with adjusted spacing and line breaks for official publication.

Replaced the introductory enacting clause with a cleaner version that omits the '- i -' page marker and adjusts line spacing for the final published version.

Updated the statute text markers from 'START_STATUTE' and 'END_STATUTE' to standard formatting without page numbers or markers in the final version.
