Bill > SCR1025

This resolution prohibits foreign corporations or individuals from contributing money, goods, or services to influence the outcome of ballot measures in Arizona. Specifically, the resolution makes it illegal for any person, entity, or committee to accept or use contributions from foreign sources when attempting to sway the result of an election involving a ballot measure. Additionally, the resolution requires campaign finance report filers to certify under penalty of perjury that they have not accepted or used such foreign contributions. The resolution includes an important exemption for federally recognized sovereign tribal nations, allowing them to continue participating in election-related activities. The resolution also mandates that the Secretary of State submit this proposition to voters at the next general election, as required by the Arizona Constitution. By introducing these provisions, the resolution aims to prevent potential foreign interference in state ballot measure elections and ensure transparency in campaign financing.
