Passed 1st Reading
Summary
The bill adds a new constitutional section that forbids any non‑human entity, such as a corporation, from using money or other value to affect voter decisions in North Carolina, except for political committees that follow the law or news content owned by parties. Violations are declared void and can strip the entity of its legal existence, limited liability, and authority to do business unless the General Assembly restores those rights. The amendment will be placed on the November 2026 statewide ballot for voter approval.
