AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Lawmakers in Maine might ban corporations from contributing directly to state legislators or their political action committees.

Maine Public reports the proposal before the Maine Legislature was sponsored by Democratic Senate President Troy Jackson and Democratic Sen. Louis Luchini.

The proposal has the support of Maine Citizens for Clean Elections, which has testified in favor of it. More than 20 other states have similar bans.

The Maine proposal would stop corporations from donating to candidate campaigns or leadership PACs.
