In plain English

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would allow Congress and the states to regulate and limit money raised and spent by candidates and others to influence elections, provided such regulations are viewpoint-neutral and reasonable. It would also authorize Congress and the states to establish public financing systems for political campaigns, including systems that use increased public funding to offset spending by candidates and others. The amendment grants Congress and the states power to enforce these provisions through legislation and permits them to treat corporations and other artificial entities differently from natural persons, including by prohibiting such entities from spending money to influence elections. Sponsored by Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO), the resolution has 106 Democratic cosponsors and no Republican cosponsors.
