SB1571 is an emergency measure that revises the campaign finance reporting requirements for statewide candidate committees in Arizona. Under the current law, a candidate committee must file campaign finance reports only during the four calendar quarters of the 12-month period preceding a general election. The new bill mandates that a candidate committee for a statewide candidate must file a campaign finance report during each calendar quarter of the 48-month period leading up to the general election for the office they are seeking. This change significantly increases the frequency and duration of reporting for statewide candidates. The bill also includes an emergency clause, making it effective immediately upon the Governor's signature.
