campaign finance; filings; penalties

Arizona's HB 2622 increases penalties for political committees and parties that miss campaign finance filing deadlines. It raises late filing fines to $20 per day for the first 15 days and $50 per day after, accruing until reports are submitted. Committees failing to file three consecutive reports face temporary suspension of operating authority, with permanent suspension if they don't comply within 30 days of a suspension notice. The bill directly affects campaign finance committees and political parties by imposing stricter financial penalties and operational consequences for repeated late filings.
