The Montana Plan redefines legitimate business activity by proposing an amendment to ban corporate political spending and dark money in elections. Designed by the Transparent Election Initiative, the amendment would prevent companies from using financial resources to influence elections. Additionally, it targets the corporate chartering authority to revoke advantages for entities that misuse their powers. If this amendment passes, it would also ban donations from anonymous sources, particularly through 501(c)(4) nonprofits. This initiative appears on the future ballot and could take effect in 2027.
"The Montana Plan, designed by the Transparent Election Initiative, opposes the ability of 'artificial' entities to spend on politics. This plan aims to redefine legitimate business activity in the state."
"If passed by a simple majority vote in the state, the Montana Plan would prohibit companies from using money to influence politics, targeting corporate chartering authority for compliance.”
