The resolution proposes a measure to be submitted to the voters of Arizona regarding campaign contributions, specifically prohibiting foreign entities from influencing election outcomes. It amends the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section that forbids foreign corporations or individuals from providing monetary or in-kind contributions to influence ballot measures, questions, or propositions. Additionally, it requires individuals and entities that file campaign finance reports to certify under penalty of perjury that they have not accepted such foreign contributions.

The resolution also states that federally recognized sovereign tribal nations are exempt from this prohibition. If approved by the voters, this measure will become law upon proclamation by the Governor. The Secretary of State is tasked with submitting this proposition to the voters at the next general election, ensuring that the electorate has the opportunity to weigh in on this significant campaign finance issue.
