The joint resolution proposed by Wahls and Sires seeks to amend the Constitution of the State of Iowa to clarify the role of corporations in the political process. Specifically, it aims to establish that corporations do not possess the rights to participate in election activities, ballot-issue activities, or to make financial contributions to political candidates or committees. The resolution emphasizes that such powers and privileges are not necessary for the regular purposes of corporations. However, it does make an exception for corporations that are specifically formed to create, sell, or operate election equipment, allowing them to continue their business activities.

If adopted, this proposed amendment would be published and referred to the next general assembly for consideration before being submitted to the electorate for ratification. The resolution reflects a growing concern over corporate influence in politics and aims to reinforce the idea that political participation should be reserved for individuals rather than corporations.
