Relative to campaign finance reform.

Official state authentication header ('STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL') and Resolution Chapter 207 designation were added.

Legislative process tracking elements removed: Senate adoption date (June 11, 2026), Assembly adoption date (August 17, 2026), signature blocks for Secretary of Senate and Chief Clerk of Assembly, and blank Secretary of State receipt fields.

Filing date of August 24, 2026 was recorded with the Secretary of State.

Removed redundant and garbled language from the WHEREAS clauses, such as 'designed intended' reduced to 'intended,' 'the opinion of the four dissenting justices Justice Stevens' concurring and dissenting opinion' simplified to just 'Justice Stevens' concurring and dissenting opinion,' and 'purports to invalidate prevents states from enforcing' reduced to 'prevents states from enforcing.'

Removed the phrase 'that have little or no correlation with the beliefs held by' from the description of corporate campaign spending, which appeared to be a drafting artifact from the amendment process.

Added standard enrolled resolution formatting including adoption dates for both chambers, Secretary of State attestation block, and resolution chapter heading.

The main resolved clause now encourages states to 'adopt policies to limit' corporate powers rather than simply 'limit' them, and adds the qualifier 'consistent with the United States Constitution,' making the resolution less of a direct call for action and more of a policy recommendation bounded by federal constitutional constraints.

The reference to other states pursuing ballot initiatives now specifies corporations 'operating within the state,' narrowing the geographic scope of the concern from all corporations generally to those with in-state operations.

The language describing Citizens United's effect on state law changed from 'purports to invalidate state laws' to 'prevents states from enforcing state laws,' shifting the framing from the decision striking down laws to the decision blocking state enforcement (though the amendment text contains both words, suggesting a drafting error).

The First Amendment protection clause now says it was 'intended to protect' rather than 'designed to protect' free speech rights of people, and adds 'natural persons' as an explicit clarification alongside 'people, not corporations.'

The reference to the dissenting opinion in Citizens United was made more specific, naming Justice Stevens' concurring and dissenting opinion joined by Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, and Sotomayor, rather than generically referring to 'the four dissenting justices.'

Several provisions contain apparent drafting errors where old and new text appear merged: 'beliefs held by messages, often in favor of policies that harm natural persons' (line 23-24) and 'corporate spending in local, state, and federal threats to the integrity of our elections' (line 16-17). These likely need correction before final passage.
