What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would limit constitutional rights to natural persons only, meaning corporations and other artificial entities would have no constitutional rights and could be regulated by government. The amendment would require all levels of government to regulate or limit election contributions and spending, including candidates' own money, to ensure equal access to politics regardless of how much money people have. All allowed contributions and spending would have to be made public, and courts could not treat spending money to influence elections as protected speech under the First Amendment.
