Fifty-seventh Legislature - Second Regular Session (2026)

Bill Summary

AN ACT amending section 41-1233, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to registration and regulation of lobbyists.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Arizona law regarding lobbyists by adding a new prohibition: individuals are now prohibited from lobbying the state legislature if they have received compensation from a candidate committee, a political action committee, or an independent expenditure committee within the year before a regular legislative session begins. A "candidate committee" is a committee formed to support or oppose a specific candidate for public office, and a "political action committee" (PAC) is an organization that pools campaign contributions from members and donates those funds to campaigns for or against candidates, ballot initiatives, or legislation. This provision aims to prevent individuals who have recently been involved in political campaigns or PAC activities from immediately using that experience to influence lawmakers.
