Bill Summary

AN ACT amending sections 11-483, 11-484, 13-2401 and 16-153, Arizona Revised Statutes; amending title 16, chapter 7, article 1, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding section 16-1025; amending sections 28-454, 39-123 and 39-124, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to election officers.

AI Summary

This bill expands privacy protections for election officers and other public servants by redefining "election officer" to include any individual assigned official election duties, not just those with a specific certificate, and makes it a class 1 misdemeanor to knowingly and without consent make an election officer's personal information (like home address or phone number) publicly available if it poses an imminent threat to their safety or that of their family or household members, with the person releasing the information knowing or reasonably should know of such a threat. The bill also clarifies that existing laws protecting personal information for certain professions, such as peace officers and health professionals, apply to election officers, and strengthens provisions against the unlawful release of personal information online that could endanger individuals.
