What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2015 legislature on first

consideration, prohibits a legislator from taking any official action with respect to

any proposal to modify a state law or rule that would result in a substantial financial

benefit to a political campaign organization of the legislator during the biennial

session in which the legislature considers the proposal.

A constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive legislatures,

and ratification by the people, before it can become effective.
