This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 38-1121, which mandates that law enforcement agencies provide a summary to applicants who were not hired or selected to advance in the hiring process. The summary must explain the reasons for the applicant's non-selection and include specific information such as background findings, physical fitness standard failures, medical concerns from examinations, polygraph test results, and psychological exam concerns.
The bill does not delete any existing statutes but introduces new requirements for transparency in the hiring process of law enforcement agencies, which include municipal police departments, county sheriff's departments, publicly funded law enforcement departments, and the department of public safety. This addition aims to enhance accountability and provide applicants with clear feedback regarding their application status.
