Fair Campaign Practices Act; prohibit campaign contributions and expenditures from foreign nationals

HB 214 bans foreign nationals - including individuals not U.S. citizens or permanent residents, foreign governments, and foreign-owned U.S. entities - from contributing to Alabama state/local campaigns, political parties, or ballot measures. It also prohibits political committees and parties from soliciting or accepting such funds, with violations punishable as Class C felonies. The bill defines "foreign national" broadly and includes limited exceptions for dues or event fees under specific conditions. Effective October 1, 2026, it aims to prevent foreign influence in Alabama elections by aligning with federal campaign finance standards.
