AZ SB1078

Transfers Arizona Revised Statutes section 18-442 and renumbers it as section 18-106, establishing comprehensive policies and procedures for electronic and digital signatures used by all state agencies, boards, and commissions.

Requires electronic signatures to be unique to the user, capable of reliable verification, and linked to records so any alteration invalidates the signature.

Specifies that digital signatures must comply with asymmetric cryptosystem requirements, including valid computer-based certificates identifying the issuer and subscriber with proper key pair verification capabilities.

Designates certain records as exempt from public inspection, including those containing information about electronic/digital signature execution processes or certificate security that could compromise signature control or security.

Defines key terms including "digital signature," "electronic signature," "certificate," "key pair," "private key," "public key," and "subscriber" for use in state agency electronic signature programs.

Amends sections 28-2065, 41-121, 41-352, 44-7011, 44-7041, and 44-7042 to update references from section 18-442 to section 18-106 and clarify electronic signature requirements for motor vehicle documents, notarial acts, and governmental records.
