HB 2667: campaign finance complaints; resolution

Sponsor: Representative Hendrix, LD 14

House Engrossed

Overview

States campaign finance complaints must be dismissed if the complaint is not resolved, extended or ruled on within 180 days.

History

A filing officer can initiate campaign finance investigations at their discretion or 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).
