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 1997 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.
