AZ HB2667

Reclassifies knowing or intentional campaign finance violations involving misstatement or failure to disclose contributions, expenditures, or other reportable items as class 1 misdemeanors rather than civil penalties.

Makes unknowing violations of contribution limitations subject to civil penalties of three times the amount violated, while knowing violations become class 1 misdemeanors.

Establishes that violations of campaign finance reporting requirements (section 16-913) involving knowing or intentional misstatements or failures to disclose are class 1 misdemeanors.

Adds a new provision making campaign finance violations generally class 2 misdemeanors unless another classification is specifically prescribed in law.

Amends sections 16-903, 16-905, 16-913, and 16-924 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to clarify criminal penalties for campaign finance violations and distinguish between knowing and unknowing violations.
