This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 16-902, which would establish that all candidates for statewide and legislative offices must participate in the Citizens Clean Elections Act. This means that these candidates would be classified as "participating candidates" and would be subject to the campaign contribution and expenditure limits set forth in Article 2 of the chapter.

The bill does not alter any existing statutes but introduces new requirements for candidates, ensuring they adhere to the regulations of the Citizens Clean Elections Act. There are no deletions from current law, and the new provisions aim to standardize campaign financing for statewide and legislative candidates in Arizona.
