fingerprinting; criminal history; records checks

Maddy summaryThis Arizona bill updates the rules for granting "good cause" exceptions to fingerprint clearance requirements for individuals with criminal records. It establishes a structured process where the relevant board must review applications within twenty days, holding a hearing within forty-five days if an exception is not immediately approved. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate they are not awaiting trial or convicted of specific serious offenses and provide evidence of successful rehabilitation, such as completing treatment programs or paying restitution. The legislation also clarifies how the board handles new arrests or convictions for people who already hold clearance cards, requiring notification to the cardholder while exempting certain cases from reporting to state agencies. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Public Safety maintain a central repository for accurate criminal history records, including specific data on domestic violence and hate crimes.

grooming; classification

Maddy summaryThis Arizona bill amends state laws regarding sexual offenses involving minors by clarifying legal defenses and establishing a new crime called child enticement. It adds specific defenses for medical procedures, emergency care situations, and consensual relationships between teenagers close in age, while also creating a new felony charge for luring minors to distribute images of genitalia or female breasts. The new enticement offense is classified as a class 5 felony, but it becomes a class 4 felony if the accused holds a position of trust over the minor. Additionally, the bill explicitly states that distributing images with serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors is not prohibited under these new rules.
