campaign finance; corporate contributions; registration

HB 2467 modifies Arizona's campaign finance laws by restricting direct corporate contributions to candidate committees while allowing corporations, limited liability companies, and labor organizations to establish separate segregated funds (similar to PACs) for employee and member contributions. These funds must register as political action committees, use payroll deduction systems, and follow specific solicitation rules for employees, members, and retirees. The bill requires corporations to register and report contributions exceeding $5,000 (statewide races), $2,500 (legislative races), or $1,000 (local races) within one business day, including details like recipient, candidate, and contribution date. Failure to comply incurs civil penalties up to three times the contribution amount. This directly affects corporations, LLCs, and labor organizations that make political contributions in Arizona elections.
