YourVoice.Now Summary
Foreign nationals are already banned from donating to candidates and political parties in U.S. elections, but that restriction doesn't clearly cover state and local ballot measures like referendums and initiatives. This bill would close that gap by explicitly prohibiting foreign nationals from contributing to or spending money on ballot initiatives and referenda at the state and local level. It applies to contributions made on or after the bill's enactment.
