Labor & Employment (Government Transparency)

SB 1085 protects most job applicants' hiring documents from public disclosure during the hiring process. It prevents public employers from sharing resumes, applications, background checks, or interview materials while a position is being filled. However, once a candidate is hired, their name, job title, and salary must be disclosed per public records laws, with exceptions for senior officials like elected leaders or cabinet members. This bill directly affects public employers and job applicants in Arizona state government hiring.
