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, the resolution seeks to prohibit corporate contributions and expenditures in elections, ensuring that political spending is limited to promote fair and free elections. It emphasizes the importance of self-governance and the need to protect democratic processes from the overwhelming influence of corporate money, which has been exacerbated since the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United v. FEC.

The resolution reflects the sentiments of Montanans, who have expressed concern over the erosion of democratic values due to corporate spending in elections. It references the passage of Initiative Measure No. 166 in 2012, which asserted that money should not be equated with free speech and called for measures to create a level playing field in campaign spending. The resolution concludes by requesting that Congress send the proposed amendment to the states for ratification, thereby reinforcing the rights of citizens as individuals rather than as entities influenced by corporate interests.
