ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Fifty-Seventh Legislature, Second Regular Session
campaign finance; aggregate report; amount
Purpose
Increases, from $100 to $200, the amount an in-state individual may contribute before the contributor's identifying information must be included in campaign finance reports.
Background
Current statute
requires in-state individuals whose contributions exceed $100 for that election
cycle to include the contributor's identifying information in the campaign
finance report. The campaign finance report must also include the aggregate
amount of contributions from all
in-state individuals whose contributions do not exceed $100 for that election
cycle. Laws
2016, Chapter 79, set the initial threshold at $50, which was later
increased to $100 by Laws 2021, Chapter
379 (A.R.S.
§ 16-926).
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this legislation.
Provisions
1. Increases, from $100 to $200, the amount an in-state individual may contribute before the contributor's identifying information must be included in campaign finance reports.
2. Allows any in-state individual whose contributions are $200 or less for that election cycle to consent to the disclosure of the contributor's name, occupation and employer on the campaign finance report.
3. Requires a campaign finance report to include the aggregate amount of contributions from all in-state individuals whose contributions do not exceed $200 for the election cycle and who have not consented to being identified in the campaign finance report.
4. Becomes effective on the general effective date.
