 Similar issues have been raised in Colorado. Labor unions were included along with corporations that dealt with in the Citizens United decision.

 I wrote to Rep. Chandler.  She responded, "I am willing to consider supporting this approach but I think the analysis is more complex than described.  Also how will this affect contributions from Labor Unions, and advocate groups such as Planned Parenthood, Everytown Against Gun Violence etc. ?"
We need to find a speaker, preferably an attorney, who can address all the issues involved.

That is the process all the other states I mentioned are following.

We don’t have a positive initiative process, so we would need legislators to sponsor and shepherd legislation directly and get it passed and signed.

Great news!  I hope this idea spreads to other states as well, including New Mexico.  Is there any analysis or activity to consider this concept being adopted here?

Leagues in Colorado, Oregon and Washington are also considering legislation similar to Hawaii's.
