SB 1216 Arizona Senate · 56th Legislature - Second Regular Session

PSPRS; social security; technical correction

This bill establishes a statewide rule prohibiting government employers in Arizona from monitoring an employee's personal online activity or speech unless there is a suspicion of illegal activity. It directly affects public employees by preventing local cities, towns, and counties from creating their own rules on this matter, as the state asserts exclusive authority over the issue. The legislation clarifies that while employers can investigate suspected illegal conduct, they cannot generally track or regulate how employees use the internet for personal purposes.
