The resolution proposes an amendment to Article I of the Missouri Constitution, which will be presented to voters during the general election in November 2026 or at a special election called by the governor. This amendment introduces a new section that defines "artificial persons" as entities created under Missouri law, such as corporations and nonprofit organizations, and outlines their powers. Notably, it restricts these entities from engaging in election or ballot issue activities, emphasizing that their powers are limited to lawful business or charitable purposes as defined in the amendment.
Furthermore, the resolution states that the existence and powers of artificial persons are conditional grants from the state, which can be revoked at any time. It revokes all previously granted powers related to election and ballot issue activities, ensuring that only political committees specifically created for such purposes may engage in these activities. The amendment also establishes that any election-related actions taken by artificial persons outside of these provisions will be considered void and subject to civil action, reinforcing the intent to limit the influence of artificial persons in the electoral process.
