HB 2307: technical correction; critical infrastructure information

HB 2307 is a technical correction to Arizona's critical infrastructure protection law. It amends Section 41-1805 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to clarify that state/local government employees and entities handling critical infrastructure information face a class 5 felony charge if they knowingly disclose protected information without authorization. The bill specifically targets unauthorized disclosure of critical infrastructure data defined under Section 41-1801, reinforcing existing penalties without creating new requirements. This is a procedural update to the legal text, not a substantive policy change.
