Secretary of State Michele Reagan plans a massive rewrite of Arizona’s campaign finance statutes next session that her office says will simplify and clarify the state’s complex, perpetually growing body of law on the subject.
The proposed package drafted by the Secretary of State’s Office would completely replace the existing laws in Title 16, Chapter 6, Article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, the non-Clean Elections portions of the state’s campaign finance laws. More than anything, it will dramatically reduce the overall length of the statutes, cutting it down by about two-thirds to around 6,500 words, down from more than 18,000.
