Bill > SB1058

This bill amends Section 38-1108 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which relates to law enforcement officers. The key provisions of the bill are as follows: 1. It prohibits employers from administering polygraph examinations to applicants for law enforcement officer positions, current law enforcement officers in administrative investigations, or law enforcement agency volunteers. 2. It states that the results of a polygraph examination in an investigation cannot be the basis for disciplinary action unless there is other corroborating evidence or information to support the disciplinary action. 3. It makes the data and reports from a polygraph examination of a law enforcement officer confidential and restricts their use to employment, certification, or reactivation of certification purposes, or for the administrative matter for which the polygraph was administered. 4. It removes the previous requirement to destroy the data and reports from a polygraph examination of a law enforcement officer three years after the date of appointment or employment. 5. It includes a delayed repeal provision, where Section 2 of the bill, which deals with the destruction of data and reports from pre-existing polygraph examinations, will be repealed on December 31, 2026.
