Te Aloha State has Officially Passed S.B. 2471, Legislation that Removes Dark and Corporate Money from the State’s Federal and State Politics.
The Final Version of the Bill, now heads to Gov. Josh Green (D)’s Desk for His Signature, before becoming Law, and making Hawaii the First in the Nation to Effectively undo Citizens United.
Citizens United is an American Conservative Nonprofit Organization founded in 1988. In 2010, the Organization Won a U.S. Supreme Court Case known as Citizens United v. FEC. The Court Ruled that Corporations and Unions could Not be Prohibited from making Independent Expenditures in Federal eEections, citing First Amendment Protections of Free Speech.
As of 2025, the Organization’s President and Chairman is David Bossie (R).
The Bill draws on a Breakthrough Legal Strategy crafted by the Center for American Progress: States Define the Powers of the Corporations they Create, and a State’s Corporate Code can Grant every Power a Business needs while Withholding Political Spending Power.
