Blocks foreign money from influencing state and local ballot votes and recall elections.
This bill would stop foreign individuals and groups from giving money to support or oppose state and local ballot initiatives, referendums, and recall elections. Currently, foreign money is already banned from candidate elections, but this bill would expand that ban to cover these other types of votes. The new rules would take effect immediately if the bill is signed into law.
Today, foreign nationals cannot donate to federal, state, or local candidate elections. If this bill becomes law, they also would not be able to donate to state or local ballot initiatives, referendums, or recall elections. This change would apply to any money given after the bill is signed into law.
