SJ 6 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Political expenditures.

Wyoming's SJ 6 is a joint resolution urging Congress to propose a constitutional amendment to require public identification of who funds political campaign contributions and to limit or ban corporate political spending. It directly addresses corporations and entities not composed of natural persons (individual people), aiming to restrict their ability to make untraceable campaign expenditures. The amendment would allow states and Congress to mandate disclosure of donor sources and restrict non-human entities from spending in elections, while exempting groups made up of natural persons that publicly identify members and donors. This resolution does not change current law but requests a constitutional change to override Supreme Court rulings like Citizens United.
