Bill > SB1533

This bill expands confidentiality protections for certain public officials, law enforcement personnel, and their family members by modifying several sections of Arizona state law. Specifically, the bill adds a new category of "eligible persons" that includes family members of judges, justices, commissioners, and hearing officers who share the same full name as the official. This means these family members can now request that their personal information be kept confidential in various government records, including county recorder indexes, voter registration records, Department of Transportation records, and other official documents. The bill aims to protect these individuals from potential safety risks by allowing them to restrict public access to their personal information through a court process. The confidentiality measures include preventing access to home addresses, telephone numbers, and other identifying information for a period of five years. The bill maintains existing provisions that allow eligible persons to file an affidavit with a superior court judge explaining their safety concerns and requesting information redaction, while also preserving necessary exceptions for law enforcement and official investigations.
