AI Summary

  • Expands the definition of "identifying information" that eligible persons can request to be kept confidential in county recorder, assessor, and treasurer records to include any data that may directly or indirectly identify a person, such as names, government-issued identifiers, biometric identifiers, and sensitive personal data.

  • Eligible persons (including peace officers, judges, prosecutors, public defenders, corrections officers, election officers, and victims with protective orders) may petition the superior court to restrict public access to their identifying information in recorded instruments for five years.

  • Property identifiers such as parcel numbers, legal descriptions, and property addresses are explicitly excluded from the definition of "identifying information" and remain publicly accessible.

  • Title insurers, title insurance agents, escrow agents, and law enforcement officers with proper legal process retain access to unredacted records despite confidentiality restrictions.

  • Amends Arizona Revised Statutes sections 11-483 and 11-484 to replace the previous, narrower definition of protected information (which covered only unique identifiers and recording dates in indexes) with the broader "identifying information" definition.
