Indiana Right to Life Victory Fund v. Diego Morales

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court answered a certified question that Indiana law prohibits corporate contributions to political action committees when earmarked for independent campaign-related expenditures. It reasoned that corporate contributions are limited to those authorized by specified statutory provisions, none of which authorize the proposed contribution to an independent-expenditure-only PAC, and that the statutes are unambiguous. The court declined to rewrite the statutes through constitutional avoidance and left any statutory revision to the legislature.
