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.
