Urging Congress to propose and send to the states for ratification a constitutional amendment to clarify that the states and Congress may reasonably regulate and limit the spending of money to influence campaigns, elections, or ballot measures.

HCR 79 is a Texas concurrent resolution urging Congress to propose a constitutional amendment. It seeks to clarify that states and Congress may reasonably regulate campaign and election spending, including distinguishing between natural persons (individuals) and entities like corporations or unions. The resolution argues current laws allow foreign interference and excessive influence from wealthy groups through hidden spending and "dark money" groups. This is a procedural request - not a law - and would require Congress to draft the amendment and states to ratify it.
