To prohibit independent expenditures advocating the election or defeat of a candidate by a corporation that has a shareholder or officer who is not a U.S. citizen, is a subsidiary of a foreign company, is incorporated in a foreign country, or has received any financing or subsidies from a source in a foreign country. The bill is part of a package comprised of House Bills 6182, introduced after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United v Federal Election Commission ruling that overturned a law restricting independent expenditures not just by for-profit businesses, but also by unions and non-profit groups motivated by ideological or political concerns.
