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 will of the people of Montana, as demonstrated by the passage of Initiative Measure No. 166 in 2012, which called for a level playing field in campaign spending and asserted that money should not be equated with free speech. It seeks to ensure that the rights protected by the Constitution are reserved for individuals rather than corporations, thereby reinforcing the principle of government by the people. The resolution concludes by requesting that Congress send the proposed amendment to the states for ratification and directs the Secretary of State to communicate this resolution to members of Congress.
