Senate Joint Resolution 38, introduced on April 29, 2025, seeks to place an advisory referendum on the November 2026 ballot regarding the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United v. F.E.C. This landmark decision established that corporations are considered persons in terms of political speech, allowing them to make unlimited expenditures in political campaigns. The resolution proposes that voters be asked whether Congress should propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to overturn this ruling, thereby limiting the influence of corporate money in elections.

The proposed amendment would assert that only human beings possess constitutional rights, excluding corporations, unions, and other artificial entities, and would clarify that money does not equate to speech. By doing so, it aims to ensure that all Americans have an equal voice in the democratic process. The resolution has garnered support from a wide range of legislators and is intended to gauge public opinion on this significant issue.
