LC 2888 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Resolution supporting a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens' United

This bill is a joint resolution from the Montana Legislature that formally requests Congress to propose a constitutional amendment overturning the Citizens United Supreme Court decision. The resolution asks for a constitutional clarification that rights protected under the U.S. Constitution belong only to human beings, not corporations or other artificial entities. It further requests that the amendment authorize federal, state, and local governments to regulate campaign contributions and expenditures to prevent corruption and undue influence in elections. The bill also mandates public disclosure of all political contributions and expenditures, and explicitly states that such regulations would not violate the Constitution.
