Bill > HCR100

This Concurrent Resolution urges Hawaii's congressional delegation to propose and support amendments to the United States Constitution that would clarify that corporations are not considered human beings with constitutional rights and that governments can limit how much money corporations spend on political campaigns. The resolution is a response to concerns that unlimited corporate spending in elections, particularly in Hawaii, can drown out the voices of individual citizens and create an unfair playing field. It specifically aims to supersede the Supreme Court's decision in *Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission*, which established that corporations have free speech rights and can spend unlimited amounts of money in political campaigns. The resolution emphasizes that money should be viewed as property, not speech, and that constitutional rights belong to human beings, not corporations, and calls for limits on corporate political expenditures to ensure a more equitable election process.
