AI Summary
This bill amends Arizona law regarding campaign finance reports to protect the privacy of individual contributors. Specifically, it requires filing officers, such as the Secretary of State or county election officials, to remove sensitive personal information from campaign finance reports before making them public. This includes redacting an individual contributor's employer, their street number and street name, or their precise home address if that's what was provided. This information, once redacted, is not considered a public record and cannot be disclosed. The bill also establishes penalties for filing officers who improperly disclose this protected information, making them liable for $1,000 per violation, and classifies knowing disclosure by an officer or employee as a class 1 misdemeanor, which is a serious criminal offense.
