campaign finance; lobbyists; election funding

HB 4046 amends Arizona's campaign finance reporting rules to increase transparency. It requires campaign committees, political action committees, and political parties to file detailed reports disclosing specific contributor information, including occupations and employers for in-state donors over $100, and explicitly labeling lobbyist contributions. The bill mandates itemized reporting of all receipts over $100 and disbursements over $250, including in-kind contributions and independent expenditures. It also clarifies reporting timelines for transactions and allows payroll deduction contributions to be reported cumulatively rather than individually. The bill directly affects all political committees managing campaign funds in Arizona elections.
