SF 2335 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A resolution memorializing Congress to overturn the United States Supreme Court decision Citizens United v. FEC; requesting that Congress clarify that the rights protected under the Constitution are the rights of natural persons and not the rights of artificial entities and that spending money to influence elections is not speech under the First Amendment; asking that Congress propose a constitutional amendment to provide such a clarification

This Minnesota Senate resolution (SF 2335) requests Congress to propose a constitutional amendment reversing the Supreme Court's *Citizens United v. FEC* decision, which treated corporate spending in elections as protected speech. It asks Congress to clarify that constitutional rights apply only to natural persons (not corporations or other artificial entities) and to allow government to regulate campaign spending to ensure equal political access for all citizens. The resolution specifically proposes constitutional language requiring public disclosure of all campaign contributions and expenditures and permitting restrictions on spending to prevent wealth-based influence in elections. As a non-binding request, it directly addresses Congress and aims to reshape federal campaign finance rules without creating new state laws.
