AZ SB1354

Amends Section 16-924 of Arizona Revised Statutes to modify campaign finance enforcement procedures and penalties.

Establishes a referral process where if a filing officer finds reasonable cause of campaign finance violations, the secretary of state notifies the attorney general for statewide violations, and county/city officials notify their respective attorneys for local violations.

Allows the appropriate attorney (state, county, or city/town) to issue a compliance order giving the violator 20 days to correct the violation, with the violator able to request a hearing within that period.

Imposes a civil penalty of up to $1,000 if the violator fails to comply with the compliance order within the specified timeframe, with 30 days to request a hearing before the penalty is final.

Adds new provisions allowing cross-jurisdiction enforcement: the secretary of state can refer violations by the attorney general to the county attorney, the attorney general can handle violations by county attorneys, and the county attorney can enforce violations by city/town attorneys.
