Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to contributions and expenditures intended to affect elections.
HJRES 121 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Congress and states to set reasonable limits on money raised or spent to influence elections. It would permit regulations distinguishing between natural persons (individuals) and corporations or other artificial entities, potentially restricting corporate spending in elections. The amendment explicitly states that such regulations cannot abridge press freedom. This is a proposed constitutional change requiring ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures, not yet law.
