SB 1060 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Campaigns and Campaign Finance - As enacted, prohibits political campaign committees formed to support or oppose a measure from receiving, soliciting, or accepting contributions or expenditures from a foreign national; requires such political campaign committees and persons making independent expenditures supporting or opposing a measure to file certain disclosures regarding funding sources with the registry of election finance. - Amends TCA Title 2, Chapter 10.

SB 1060 prohibits political campaign committees supporting or opposing ballot measures from accepting contributions or expenditures from foreign nationals - including foreign governments, entities, or U.S. organizations majority-owned by foreign nationals. It requires these committees and individuals making independent expenditures to certify no foreign funding exceeding $100,000 in the past four years and disclose all funding sources to Tennessee’s election finance registry. The law directly affects committees and spenders involved in local ballot measure campaigns, aiming to prevent foreign influence in state elections. It became law as Public Chapter 506 in May 2025.
