AZ HB2227

Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 41-2405 to modify powers and duties of the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission regarding data collection and information sharing.

Changes the Commission's authority to "request" information from criminal justice agencies to "require" submission of necessary criminal justice information, data, and statistics, unless prohibited by federal or state law.

Defines "information" to include criminal justice data useful for crime studies, legislative-mandated reports, federal reporting requirements, or information deemed necessary by a commission vote.

Adds new provision allowing the Commission to establish guidelines for criminal justice agencies to submit and retain information while maintaining privacy, security, and controlling conditions for data release.

Specifies that required information must be available to agencies or collectable without imposing significant burden or cost to the requesting criminal justice agency.
