Bill Summary

AN ACT Amending Sections 16-913 and 38-545, Arizona Revised Statutes; Relating to political finances.

AI Summary

This bill makes changes to two different sections of Arizona law related to political campaign finances and local government financial disclosures. First, it modifies rules about candidate committee contributions by allowing city or town candidate committees to transfer contributions to the same candidate's statewide or legislative office committee, which was previously prohibited. The bill also clarifies that when such transfers occur, the total transferred contributions from an individual cannot exceed the contribution limit for the statewide or legislative office. Additionally, the bill requires local cities, towns, and counties to adopt financial disclosure standards for local public officers and mandates that each officer's completed financial disclosure must be publicly accessible on the respective local government's website. The changes to the contribution rules will take effect on December 31, 2026, and will only apply to contributions received after that date, giving political committees and local governments time to adjust to the new requirements.
