The resolution SCR1012 urges the U.S. Congress to propose a constitutional amendment that would allow states to regulate and limit campaign spending within their jurisdictions. It emphasizes the need for states to distinguish between natural persons and artificial entities, such as corporations and unions, when implementing these regulations. The resolution also mandates that the Secretary of State send copies of this resolution to key congressional leaders and Arizona's congressional delegation.
Additionally, the resolution provides background on existing campaign finance laws in Arizona, including the requirements for campaign committees to submit finance reports and the disclosures mandated by Proposition 211. It notes that there is no anticipated fiscal impact on the state General Fund from this legislation. The resolution aims to clarify the authority of states in managing campaign finance, thereby enhancing the integrity of elections and the democratic process.
