SJR 2004 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa relating to corporate participation in the political process.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment in Iowa that would prohibit corporations from making financial contributions or participating in election activities (like supporting candidates or ballot measures). It directly affects all Iowa corporations, barring them from engaging in political spending or advocacy related to elections. The amendment includes an exception for corporations specifically formed to create, sell, or operate election equipment. If approved by voters, this change would require a constitutional amendment, not a regular law, and would take effect after ratification.
