H1229

Strip Corporations of Political Spending

Introduced·5/7/26

North Carolina H1229 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit corporate political spending power.

North Carolina H1229 seeks to amend the state constitution to prohibit non-human entities from exercising political spending power. This includes spending money or anything of value to influence election outcomes. Exceptions are made for political committees and bona fide news distribution. The amendment will be put to a public vote in the 2026 general election. If approved, it will void corporate privileges for actions violating these limits, subject to legislative reinstatement.
