Foreign nationals; prohibit from making any contribution or expenditure connected to any ballot measure.

HB 556 would have prohibited foreign nationals (non-U.S. citizens not lawfully admitted for permanent residence) from contributing money or making expenditures related to Mississippi state or local ballot measures. The bill aimed to prevent foreign influence in local voting by banning such contributions directly or through others, and requiring people to not accept them. It defined "foreign national" using federal standards but excluded U.S. citizens. This bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law.
