A federal judge has declared a portion of Arizona’s campaign-finance law unconstitutional, finding the definition of political committee “vague” and “overbroad.”
However, the law remains in effect pending further litigation seeking an injunction or until the Arizona Legislature can address problems in the law early next year.
“We will likely file an injunction to basically put everything on hold until the Legislature can convene in January,” said Stephanie Grisham, spokeswoman for Attorney General Tom Horne. “This is something the Legislature will need to remedy.”
In October 2011, the Institute for Justice filed a suit on behalf of Fountain Hills resident Dina Galassini challenging the constitutionality of the law.
