SCR 1002 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

campaign finance; aggregate report; amount

SCR 1002 is a proposed ballot measure that would amend Arizona's campaign finance reporting rules. It specifically increases the threshold for mandatory disclosure of in-state individual contributors from $100 to $200 per election cycle. For contributions under $200, campaigns would no longer need to disclose contributor details unless the donor consents. This change directly affects political committees and candidates who collect campaign contributions, altering their reporting requirements for smaller donations. The measure must be approved by voters to become law.

MODERATE

The bill was converted from a draft concurrent resolution into a formal Senate Engrossed version, updating the header to reflect official legislative formatting and dates. Substantively, the text of the proposed law was expanded to include new reporting categories for disbursements such as loan repayments, refunds, and independent expenditures, while also clarifying rules for in-kind contributions and payroll deduction plans.

Scope change

The scope of the proposed law was expanded to require more detailed reporting on specific types of financial transactions, including loans, refunds, and independent expenditures, which were not explicitly detailed in the previous draft.

REQUIREMENT

Added new reporting categories for disbursements including loan repayments, refunds of contributions, loans made, in-kind contributions provided, independent expenditures, ballot measure expenditures, and recall election expenditures.

Added specific reporting requirements for political action committees receiving payroll deduction contributions, allowing them to report aggregate amounts and individual identities instead of itemizing each contribution.

Clarified that the aggregate amount of contributions from in-state individuals under $200 must be reported as a total sum, removing the previous option to list them conditionally based on consent.

Added a requirement for candidate committee reports to be cumulative for the entire election cycle, whereas political action committee and party reports remain cumulative for a two-year cycle.

Added a requirement for entities making independent or ballot measure expenditures over $1,000 to file separate expenditure reports with specific details about the candidate or measure supported.

DEFINITION

Added new subsections defining how the date of receipt or expenditure is determined for various transaction types, including checks, credit cards, and electronic authorizations.
