Proposes an amendment to the Hawaii State Constitution to exclude election-related spending from freedom of speech protections.

The bill proposes an amendment to the Hawaii State Constitution to clarify that freedom of speech does not include spending money to influence elections.

The amendment aims to express disapproval of the Citizens United decision, which allows unrestricted corporate spending on elections.
