AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Protecting Ballot Measures From Foreign Influence Act of 2025," amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to explicitly prohibit foreign nationals from making contributions or donations in connection with state or local ballot initiatives and referenda, which are public votes on proposed laws or constitutional amendments.
