RE: 188-063 (R88-051)
ADDENDUM
Dear Speaker Hull:
On June 9, 1988, we issued Ariz. Att'y Gen. Op. 188-063
to the Honorable Gary Giordano, who is no longer a member of the
Arizona House of Representatives. We are, therefore, directing
our clarification of that opinion to you.
In that opinion we concluded that Arizona law does not
prohibit candidates from accepting contributions from foreign
citizens as long as all other limitations or requirements of the
Arizona contributions and expenses statutes are complied with.
We clarify that opinion by noting that federal law prohibits
foreign nationals1 from making campaign contributions to
Arizona candidates.
The primary federal provision on contributions by
foreign nationals is found in 2 U.S.C. § 441e which provides:
IThe term foreign national includes a foreign principal,
as defined in 22 U.S.C. § 611(b) or an individual not lawfully
admitted for permanent residence in the United States, but it
does not include any individual who is a citizen of the United
States. 11 C.F.R. § 110.4(a)(3).
