SCR 28 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

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.

This Texas concurrent resolution (SCR 28) urges Congress to propose a constitutional amendment clarifying that states and Congress may regulate money spent to influence elections, ballot measures, or campaigns - including the ability to distinguish between individual voters and entities like corporations or unions. It does not create new laws but seeks to establish constitutional authority for future campaign finance regulations. The resolution is a procedural step to encourage federal action, not a direct policy change.
