The Senate Resolution introduced by various members of the Montana Senate urges the United States Congress to propose a constitutional amendment that would affirm the authority of both state and federal governments to regulate campaign financing, specifically by prohibiting corporate contributions and expenditures in elections. The resolution emphasizes the importance of free and fair elections as a cornerstone of democracy and highlights the concerns of Montanans regarding the influence of corporate money in politics, particularly following the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United v. FEC, which undermined previous protections against corporate spending in elections.

The resolution reflects the sentiments of Montanans who have expressed a desire for a level playing field in campaign spending, as demonstrated by the passage of Initiative Measure No. 166 in 2012, which asserted that money should not be equated with free speech and that political rights belong to individuals rather than corporations. The Senate calls for Congress to send the proposed amendment to the states for ratification, aiming to restore the integrity of the electoral process and ensure that the voices of citizens are not drowned out by corporate interests.
