Summary

The bill bans any money, gifts, or services that come from foreign individuals, governments, or entities from being used in state ballot issues. It requires anyone who might receive such foreign support to certify to the Secretary of State that they are not knowingly receiving it, and sets penalties for false or missing certifications. The goal is to keep foreign influence out of West Virginia elections.
