animal abuse; database

SB 1034 requires Arizona courts to create and maintain a database of adults convicted of specific animal cruelty offenses, including severe cruelty under A.R.S. §13-2910(A)(8,9,11,14,15,16,19), animal fighting, or bestiality. The database includes conviction details (date, level, jurisdiction), personal identifiers (birth date, race, physical description, photo/fingerprint if available), and known aliases. Individuals listed can petition for removal after five years if they completed court-ordered treatment, met probation terms, and prove they no longer pose a risk to animals. The database relies solely on court records and may use federal or private funds for maintenance.
