Calls upon U.S. Congress to propose a Constitutional amendment allowing states and Congress to set reasonable limits on spending to influence elections

Would permit distinguishing between natural persons and artificial entities (corporations, unions, and artificial intelligences) in campaign finance regulation

Responds to Supreme Court decisions that have equated unlimited election spending with free speech, which the resolution argues contradicts the original meaning of the First Amendment

Directs the Minnesota Secretary of State to transmit enrolled copies to Congressional leadership and all members of the Minnesota Congressional delegation
