Lawmakers in Georgia passed legislation aimed at limiting foreign influence in elections in the Peach State, where it awaits Gov. Brian Kemp‘s (R-GA) approval.
The bill, Senate Bill 368, passed unanimously in the state Senate last month and passed 161-2 in the state House on Thursday. Federal law prohibits foreign nationals from donating to political campaigns, and this legislation also bars foreign nationals from making donations to political candidates, campaigns, and committees in Georgia.
