New Hawaiian law limits corporate spending on politics, other states work to follow suit
"OAKLAND, Calif. - Hawaii’s Democratic Governor on Thursday signed into law a bill to stop corporations and "dark money" groups from spending unlimited amounts of money on politics.
The Aloha State’s S.B. 2471 states that because governments grant a corporation its powers, Hawaii can simply decline to grant the power to spend on elections. The new law goes into effect on July 1, 2027.
Proponents say the law circumvents the 2010 Supreme Court decision that opened the door for corporate spending on elections. Commonly referred to as "Citizens United" — the name of the nonprofit organization involved in the case — the court’s ruling stated that limiting corporate funding of independent political broadcasts was a violation of the first amendment."
