This bill proposes updates to section 16-926 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning campaign finance reporting for candidate committees. It introduces a new requirement that contributions from lobbyists, who must register under title 41, chapter 7, article 8.1, be explicitly identified in campaign finance reports. The term "lobbyist" will be included alongside the contributor's occupation and employer in the reports, enhancing transparency regarding the sources of campaign contributions.

Additionally, the bill removes several existing reporting requirements, specifically the identification of loans and their endorsers, as well as the reporting of rebates, refunds, interest on committee funds, the fair market value of in-kind contributions, and outstanding extensions of credit. These deletions streamline the reporting process by eliminating detailed financial disclosures that are no longer deemed necessary under the proposed law.
