Latest action on H.R. 6738: Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects campaigns and groups that raise or spend money on state and local ballot questions. They would need to make sure they do not accept donations from foreign nationals. It also affects foreign nationals who want to give money to support or oppose a ballot measure, because the bill would bar those donations. State and local election officials could also need to account for the new federal rule when guiding campaigns.
Why this matters: Many voters decide major local and state policies through ballot questions, and this bill would limit who can fund those campaigns. It aims to keep foreign money out of campaigns that try to shape those direct votes. The bill could change how ballot measure groups raise money and screen donors. The text does not show how much foreign money is now involved in these campaigns, so the size of the real-world change is unclear.
