Fifty-Seventh Legislature, Second Regular Session

FACT SHEET FOR S.C.R. 1002

campaign finance; aggregate report; amount

Purpose

Subject to voter approval, statutorily increases the amount an in-state individual may contribute before the contributor's identifying information must be included in campaign finance reports from $100 to $200.

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. Requires the Secretary of State to submit the proposition to the voters at the next general election.

5. Becomes effective if approved by the voters and on proclamation of the Governor.
