SJRES 45 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to contributions and expenditures intended to affect elections.

This proposed constitutional amendment would give Congress and states the authority to regulate campaign contributions and spending, including setting limits and prohibiting corporations from spending money to influence elections. It explicitly protects freedom of the press by stating the amendment cannot be used to abridge it. If ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures, it would establish a new constitutional standard for campaign finance regulation.
