- Arizona Supreme Court upholds dark money law, allows free speech challenge to proceed
The Arizona Supreme Court upheld most challenges to Proposition 211, a voter-approved law requiring donor disclosure for political spending, but allowed a free speech challenge to proceed. Opponents, including the Center for Arizona Policy and Arizona Free Enterprise Club, argue donor disclosure violates Arizona’s constitution by chilling free speech, while proponents maintain the law complies with state constitutional protections.
