The bill amends K.S.A. 25-4180 to enhance campaign finance regulations specifically concerning contributions related to proposed amendments to the Kansas constitution. It introduces a ban on contributions from foreign nationals for activities promoting or opposing constitutional provisions. The bill requires individuals engaging in such activities to report contributions exceeding $50 annually to the Secretary of State, detailing the names and addresses of contributors, the amounts contributed, and expenditures made. Additionally, it mandates that contributors certify they are not foreign nationals and have not accepted significant contributions from foreign nationals in the preceding four years.

Furthermore, the bill establishes penalties for non-compliance with reporting requirements, including a civil penalty of $10 per day for unfiled reports, capped at $300. It also classifies the intentional failure to file required reports as a class A misdemeanor. The existing section of K.S.A. 25-4180 is repealed, and the new provisions are set to take effect upon publication in the statute book.
