elections; foreign contributions prohibited

SB 1647 prohibits foreign corporations, persons, or foreign nongovernmental sources from contributing money or goods/services to influence Arizona ballot measures, including initiatives and referendums. It requires campaign committees filing financial reports to certify under penalty of perjury that they haven’t accepted such foreign contributions. Federally recognized tribal nations are exempt from this restriction. The bill directly affects entities funding or opposing ballot measures by banning foreign influence in these specific election activities.
