AZ HB2546

Requires corporations, limited liability companies, and labor organizations making independent expenditures above specified thresholds to register and notify filing officers within one day: $5,000+ for statewide races, $2,500+ for legislative races, and $1,000+ for local races.

Mandates disclosure statements on all literature and advertisements funded by these entities, including entity name, "paid for by" language, disclaimer of candidate authorization, and the four largest major funding sources at time of production.

Requires disclosure statements to identify out-of-state contributors as major funding sources and specifies format requirements for different media types (radio, print, broadcast television).

Entities that fail to register, notify, or disclose face civil penalties up to three times the expenditure amount; knowingly false filings constitute a class 1 misdemeanor.

Entities organized primarily to influence elections that accept donations must file campaign finance reports as political committees with the appropriate filing officer.
