SB 1508 requires Arizona utilities to annually report detailed expenses to the Corporation Commission starting in 2027, including political spending, executive travel, charitable giving, and lobbying costs.

Non-compliance can result in civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation. This bill directly affects all electric, water, and gas utilities operating in Arizona.
