ARS § 41-166

41-166 - Address use by state or local government entities 41-166 . Address use by state or local government entities A. The program participant, and not the secretary of state, is responsible for requesting that a state or local government entity use the program participant's substitute address as the program participant's residential, work or school address for all purposes for which the state or local government entity requires or requests the residential, work or school address. B. Except as otherwise provided in this section or unless the secretary of state grants a state or local government entity's request for disclosure pursuant to section 41-167, if a program participant submits a current and valid address confidentiality program authorization card to the state or local government entity, the state or local government entity shall accept the substitute address designation on the card as the program participant's address for use as the program participant's residential, work or school address when creating a new public record. The substitute address given to the state or local government entity is considered the last known address for the program participant used by the state or local government entity until the time that the state or local government entity receives notification pursuant to section 41-164. The state or local government entity may make a photocopy of the card for the records of the state or local government entity and shall immediately return the card to the program participant. C. Except as otherwise provided in this section or by order of the court, if a program participant submits a current and valid address confidentiality program authorization card to the court, the court shall accept the substitute address designation on the card as the program participant's address for use as the program participant's residential, work or school address. The substitute address given to the court is considered the last known address for the program participant used by the court until the time that the court receives notification pursuant to section 41-164. The court may make a photocopy of the card for the court file and shall return the card to the program participant. D. When a person with an existing voter registration record becomes a program participant, the secretary of state shall secure the participant's voter registration record and notify the appropriate county recorder of the participant's secured status, current residence address and substitute address for the county recorder to revise the participant's voter registration record so that the participant's address can be kept confidential in the same manner as prescribed by section 16-153. A program participant who is not already registered to vote may register to vote using the substitute address and must provide the election official with the participant's actual residence address for precinct designation purposes. If the participant registers to vote other than online or at a driver license examination facility, the participant shall present a completed voter registration form with the participant's substitute address and address confidentiality program card to the appropriate election official. E. A designated election official shall use the actual address of a program participant for precinct designation and all official election-related purposes and shall keep the program participant's actual address confidential from the public. The election official shall use the substitute address for all correspondence and mailings placed in the United States mail. The substitute address shall not be used as an actual residence address for voter registration. F. A state or local government entity's access to a program participant's voter registration shall be governed by the disclosure process set forth in section 41-167. G. A program participant who completes an application to register to vote at a driver license examination facility while receiving a driver license or an identification card is required to have the program participant's actual address on the driver license or identification card. A program participant whose driver license has the substitute address may register to vote, if otherwise eligible, pursuant to subsection E of this section. H. The substitute address shall not be used for purposes of listing, appraising or assessing property taxes and collecting property taxes. If a program participant would like to keep records maintained by the county assessor and county treasurer confidential, the program participant shall comply with section 11-484. I. If a program participant is required by law to swear or affirm to the program participant's address, the program participant may use the participant's substitute address. J. The substitute address shall not be used for purposes of assessing any taxes or fees on a motor vehicle or for titling or registering a motor vehicle. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, any record that includes a program participant's actual address pursuant to this subsection shall be confidential and not available for inspection by anyone other than the program participant. K. The substitute address shall not be used on any document related to real property recorded with a recorder. If a program participant would like to keep real property records confidential, the program participant shall comply with section 11-483. L. A public school shall accept the substitute address as the address of record and shall verify student enrollment eligibility through the secretary of state. The secretary of state shall facilitate the transfer of student records from one school to another. M. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a program participant's actual address and telephone number maintained by a state or local government entity or disclosed by the secretary of state is not a public record that is subject to inspection. This subsection shall not apply to the following: 1. Any public record created more than ninety days before the date that the program participant applied to be certified in the program. 2. A program participant who voluntarily requests that a state or local government entity use the participant's actual address or voluntarily gives the actual address to the state or local government entity. N. For any public record created within ninety days before the date that a program participant applied to be certified in the program, a state or local government entity shall redact the actual address from a public record or change the actual address to the substitute address in the public record, if a program participant who presents a current and valid program authorization card requests the entity that maintains the public record to use the substitute address instead of the actual address on the public record.
