Can I collect gender information from participants in Arizona? What are the requirements?
Based on the provided documents, collecting gender information from participants in Arizona is generally allowed, but there are some restrictions and requirements that must be followed.
Collection of Gender Information
Arizona law does not explicitly prohibit the collection of gender information from participants. However, it is important to note that certain types of genetic testing information are considered confidential and privileged [2.2]. Additionally, the Arizona criminal justice commission may require any state or local criminal justice agency to submit any necessary information that is currently collected and readily reportable by the agency at the time of the request, including an agency’s compliance with statutorily required reports or mandated federal or state reporting, or any other information that is deemed necessary by a vote of the full commission [1.1].
Requirements for Collection of Gender Information
If you are collecting birth registration information, you must submit the information required in R9-19-201(B), including the individual’s mother’s first and last name, the individual’s mother’s street address or the location where the individual’s mother was present in Arizona, and the date the evidentiary document was created [4.1]. Additionally, if you are a law enforcement agency, you must submit uniform crime information that includes crimes that manifest evidence of prejudice based on gender [3.3].
It is important to note that this information may not be comprehensive and may not apply to all situations. It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure that you are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Therefore, you can collect gender information from participants in Arizona, but you must comply with the requirements and restrictions outlined in the relevant documents.
