Bill > HJR31

This resolution proposes amendments to the Alaska Constitution to clarify that constitutional rights and protections apply only to "natural persons," meaning individual human beings, and not to artificial entities like corporations. It also aims to prohibit corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), and other artificial entities from making contributions or expenditures to influence state and local elections, with a narrow exception for groups specifically organized for the primary purpose of influencing elections, though even these groups would have limited powers. The amendments would apply to legal obligations entered into after they become effective, and the legislature is directed to establish penalties, including potential dissolution of the entity, for violations of these election finance restrictions by the first regular legislative session after January 1, 2027. Finally, these proposed changes would be put to a vote of the people at the next general election.
