Arizona SB1647 prohibits foreign contributions to influence ballot measures, requiring certification of compliance.

Arizona SB1647 amends the state's election laws by adding a section that prohibits foreign corporations or individuals from contributing funds or in-kind goods or services to influence the outcome of an election on a ballot measure.

Those required to file campaign finance reports must certify under penalty of perjury that they have not violated this prohibition.
