Summary

The proposal adds Section 37 to Article I, defining “artificial persons” such as corporations and limiting them to only those powers the state expressly grants, excluding any involvement in elections or ballot‑issue spending. It revokes existing corporate privileges unless re‑granted by the amendment and makes unauthorized political activity void, with forfeiture of charter benefits and possible civil action. The amendment would have been placed on the November 2026 ballot, but it failed in the House.
