AZ SB1425

Requires political committees and candidates to file a statement of organization or five hundred dollar threshold exemption statement before circulating petitions for signatures, accepting contributions, making expenditures, or distributing campaign literature.

Allows electors to challenge nomination petitions if signatures were obtained before the candidate's campaign committee, exploratory committee, or political committee filed their required statement of organization or exemption statement; such signatures are void and not counted.

Disqualifies candidates found guilty of petition forgery from seeking election to public office for a minimum of five years and voids all their submitted petitions.

Expands the definition of when political committee registration is required to explicitly include "circulating petitions for signatures" as an activity triggering the registration requirement before it occurs.

Imposes civil penalties up to three times the amount of money or value of things received, expended, or promised in violation of campaign committee registration requirements.
