This amendment expands the bill's foreign funding prohibition to cover political action committees and organizations in addition to groups, and creates a parallel statutory section specifically addressing statewide ballot measures.
- Expands the definition of entities subject to foreign funding restrictions to include political action committees and organizations, not just groups. (Page 1, lines 1-2 and lines 4-5)
- Updates statutory references to include a new section 22-25-116 in addition to the existing 22-24-202, and corrects the verb form from singular 'is' to plural 'are' to match the multiple sections being referenced. (Page 1, lines 7-8)
- Creates a new statutory section 22-25-116 that mirrors and parallels the restrictions in 22-24-202, but specifically applies to political action committees and organizations that support or oppose statewide initiative or referendum petition drives rather than groups filing under 22-24-201(a). (Page 4, after line 2)
- The new section 22-25-116 prohibits foreign nationals from directing, controlling, or participating in decision-making of political action committees or organizations involved in statewide ballot measures, and prohibits them from soliciting donations to influence ballot initiatives. (Page 4, lines 23-29)
- Requires political action committees and organizations supporting or opposing statewide initiatives or referendums to file certifications regarding prohibited sources of funding and to maintain contribution and expenditure records for at least five years. (Page 4, lines 31-7 (of page 5))
- Establishes a donor affirmation requirement for contributions to political action committees and organizations involved in statewide ballot measures, requiring donors to confirm they are not foreign nationals and have not received more than $100,000 from prohibited sources in the preceding four years. (Page 5, lines 9-17)
