section 4 of article III of the constitution;
relating to: reasonable limits
2on state or local campaign expenditures (first consideration).
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Currently, no provision of the state constitution treats the subject of campaign
expenditures.
This proposed constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2001 legislature on
first consideration, specifically authorizes the legislature, by law, to impose
reasonable limits on campaign expenditures for state or local elective offices in this
state.
A constitutional amendment requires adoption by 2 successive legislatures,
and ratification by the people, before it can become effective.
