AZ SB1336

Prohibits county employees from using county resources (including computer hardware and software) for lobbying purposes unless they are authorized or designated public lobbyists performing official duties.

Violations of the lobbying restriction are subject to disciplinary action or dismissal under county personnel policy, in addition to civil penalties.

Maintains existing prohibition on counties using resources to influence election outcomes, with exceptions for neutral informational pamphlets on bond elections and reporting on official board actions.

Clarifies that "routine county communications" for informational purposes are exempt from the lobbying restrictions.

Establishes civil penalties up to $5,000 plus misused funds for violations, with funds recovered returned to the county and paid by the violator rather than from county budget.
