Massachusetts S8 proposes a constitutional amendment to clarify corporate status and regulate campaign finance.

Massachusetts S8 proposes a constitutional amendment to explicitly state that corporations are not people and are subject to regulation. It aims to ensure that campaign finance laws apply only to individuals, not corporations. The amendment would allow the Massachusetts General Court to set reasonable limits on political contributions and expenditures to promote equal access to the political process. All permissible contributions and expenditures would need to be publicly disclosed. The amendment emphasizes that it does not infringe on the freedom of the press.
