Resolutions for an application to Congress for an amendment overturning Citizens United
Massachusetts' HD 249 is a resolution memorializing Congress to propose a constitutional amendment overturning the *Citizens United* Supreme Court decision. It requests Congress send to the states a proposed amendment that would allow federal and state governments to regulate campaign spending and prohibit corporations and unions from spending money in elections. The resolution references a specific Massachusetts-proposed amendment text that would restore the ability to limit corporate influence in elections while protecting individual voting rights. This is a procedural request to Congress, not a law creating new regulations.
