HB 2666: campaign finance; third-party complaints

Sponsor: Representative Hendrix, LD 14

Signed by the Governor

Overview

States campaign finance complaints must be submitted by an identifiable human being.

History

A filing officer may initiate a campaign finance investigation upon the receipt of a third-party complaint. If the filing officer makes a reasonable cause finding that a campaign finance violation occurred, the filing officer may refer the matter to the appropriate enforcement officer. The enforcement officer makes the final determination whether a legal violation occurred. If the enforcement officer concludes that a campaign finance violation occurred, they can issue a notice of violation to the alleged violator. Violations that are not timely remedied may result in legal action to secure compliance (A.R.S. § 16-938).

Provisions

1.   Prohibits the filing officer from accepting campaign finance complaints from a third party unless it is filed by an individual who submits evidence of being an identifiable human being. (Sec. 1)

2.   Clarifies that an entity's third-party campaign finance complaint must be submitted by an individual on behalf of that entity and include evidence that the individual is an identifiable human being. (Sec. 1)
