SB 1289 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

foreign donations; election administration; certification

SB 1289 requires any entity (including corporations or committees) providing election services to Arizona government entities to certify in writing that they are not receiving foreign donations, with annual updates and immediate reporting of new foreign donation information. Government entities must submit quarterly reports listing these service providers to the Secretary of State, who will post certifications online. Failure to certify accurately invalidates service agreements and may result in a class 1 misdemeanor charge or $5,000 fines per violation. The bill also allows the Attorney General and qualified voters to sue for enforcement, seeking injunctions, $1,000 daily penalties, and attorney fees for non-compliance.
