SB 1193 prohibits Arizona state departments from selling or disclosing personal identifying information of Emergency Medical Care Technicians (EMCTs) without the technician's specific consent.

It also allows departments to share de-identified or aggregated data that cannot reasonably identify an individual EMCT. This law directly protects EMCTs' privacy by making their personal information confidential and exempt from public records requests.

HB 2119: computer data center; application; deadline

HB 2119 provides tax relief for owners/operators of certified computer data centers in Arizona, directly affecting new data center projects and their qualified colocation tenants. To qualify, applicants must submit detailed applications showing either $25 million (in low-population counties) or $50 million (in high-population counties) in new investment within five years, or document $250 million in pre-2013 investment for existing centers.

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.

HB 2630: election officers; privacy protections

HB 2630 allows eligible individuals - including election officers, law enforcement personnel, public officials, and those under protection orders - to request hiding their personal details (like home addresses and full names) from public property records maintained by county recorders. To qualify, they must file an affidavit with a judge explaining safety risks, and if approved, the county recorder will restrict public access to their identifying information for five years. This applies to documents such as property deeds and recorded instruments, aiming to protect individuals facing safety threats by limiting how easily their personal data can be found online. The bill does not create new records but modifies access to existing county property records.

HB 2820: data centers; incentives; repeal; requirements

HB 2820 repeals Arizona's Section 41-1519 (which previously provided tax incentives for data centers) and amends Section 42-2003 to allow the Arizona Commerce Authority to disclose taxpayer information for certifying computer data centers. This change directly affects data center operators seeking tax incentives, as it modifies how the Commerce Authority can access confidential tax information to verify eligibility. The key provision adds new disclosure permissions for the Commerce Authority to certify data centers for tax relief under repealed Section 41-1519. The bill focuses on administrative procedures for tax incentive programs rather than creating new financial benefits.

HB 2490: rental price fixing; algorithmic pricing

HB 2490 prohibits landlords and "coordinators" (those selling algorithmic tools) from using algorithmic devices that process nonpublic competitor data to coordinate rental prices or terms for residential properties. It directly affects landlords managing five or more rental units (or coordinators serving them), banning tools that analyze competitors' historical prices, occupancy rates, or lease terms to set rents. The bill creates a legal presumption of price-fixing if such algorithms are used, though violators can rebut this with evidence they lacked knowledge of the data's origin. Enforcement falls to the Attorney General under existing consumer protection laws, with exemptions for government housing, small landlords (under five units), dormitories, and transient lodging like hotels.

HB 2658: dropout recovery programs; repeal

HB 2658 repeals Section 15-901.06 of Arizona law, which authorized online dropout recovery programs for students who left school. This ends the specific provision allowing virtual options in these programs, directly affecting students enrolled in Arizona's dropout recovery initiatives who previously could access online courses. The bill also amends related virtual school assessment rules (Section 15-808.01), but the core action is removing the online program authorization. It does not create new requirements but eliminates a specific pathway for virtual dropout recovery services.
