Hawaii legislature passes bill to curb Citizens United at state level
The Hawaii Legislature passed a first-in-the-nation bill to limit corporate political spending in state elections, directly targeting the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision. The measure restricts corporate spending in state races and is designed to shift influence back to individual voters and grassroots organizations. Supporters said the law restores citizen power in elections and would blunt the effect of outside corporate money. Passage creates the first state-level test of the post-Citizens United landscape and could prompt other states to adopt similar limits or invite legal challenges.
HUGE NEWS: The Hawaii legislature, on overwhelming and bipartisan votes, just now became the first state to clear a bill that rids the state’s politics of all dark and corporate money — effectively undoing Citizens United. Next stop: Gov. Josh Green‘s desk for his signature.
