AZ HB2649

Establishes a law enforcement officer database to be maintained by the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board, accessible only to law enforcement agencies conducting background investigations of applicants.

Requires law enforcement agencies to report to the board within ten days after final ruling on disciplinary actions, substantiated complaints, formal reprimands, and investigations where officers resign before completion.

Mandates that law enforcement agencies check the database before hiring applicants for law enforcement officer positions.

Allows individuals to bring civil actions in superior court to enforce the statute, with courts authorized to award prevailing parties reasonable attorney fees, damages, and costs for non-compliance.
