Creates new provisions relating to foreign spending in state ballot measure elections

The bill was changed from repealing election-related sections to amending Chapter 130 to add campaign finance sections.

New definitions were added for 'foreign national', 'prohibited sources', 'preliminary activity', and 'tax-exempt organization' to clarify who and what is restricted from contributing to campaigns.

Committees must now certify that no preliminary activity was funded by prohibited sources when registering, and must affirm in reports that they haven't knowingly accepted contributions from prohibited sources.

Committees receiving contributions over $2,000 must obtain donor affirmations that the donor is not a foreign national and hasn't received over $10,000 from prohibited sources in the past two years (individuals) or four years (entities).

Entities making expenditures supporting ballot measures must affirm to the ethics commission within 48 hours that they haven't knowingly accepted funds from prohibited sources over $10,000 in the past four years.

Receipt of proper affirmations creates a rebuttable presumption of compliance, but the attorney general can still pursue actions for willful violations.
