All Comments:
Roger Gorres, Self: The changes recommended improves the administration of this law will help eliminate
unemployment abuse.; Carol Stines, Self: We need an unemployment policy that is reasonable and doesn't
encourage unemployment; Elizabeth Putnam-Hidalgo, Self: This bill throws a wrench into people collecting
unemployment--as if their lives are not difficult enough already!; Pat VanMaanen, Self: The punitive bill leaves no
room for correcting misinformation, instead carrying automatic criminal penalties. Let's help those who are
unemployed not assume punish or assume ill will.; Denise Link, PhD, WHNP, Self: Busy work and an attempt to
shame and humiliate people who are trying to find meaningful work that pays a wage that will support them and a
family and benefits to protect their health and standard of living; Martha Clark-Benoit, Self: Strongly opposed;
Mary Ann Graffagnino, Self: This is more work and time that takes away from time better spent by unemployed to
look further for jobs.; Beatriz Urrea, Self: This is harsh and unfair. Who gets to decide what is a "suitable" job
offer?; Lisa Olson, Self: Imposing automatic criminal penalties for people's lack of proving their job searching
actions is a ludicrous idea, for many reasons. We are among the least benevolent states in the country, when it
comes to addressing needs of the poor.; Christina Mollica, Self: | am a registered voter in LD29.; Dianne Post, Self,
STATE CONFERENCE NAACP: You only make benefits harder to get and take longer to do harming the most
vulnerable.; Carol Maas, Self: 1 guess this bill assumes people want to be unemployed since it is so lucrative in AZ.
Or that these requirements are like a job - getting the interview, proving it and reporting it. For all this effort, they
should get paid! Where's job trainin?; Kathleen Pettycrew, Self: this is too punitive; Barbara Oliver, Self:
AUTOMATIC CRIMINAL PENALTIES ARE NOT THE WAY TO SOLVE THE JOB-LESS PROBLEM.,; Susan Morris, Self: From
what | understand, administering unemployment benefits is already time-consuming (and my guess is that it is
underfunded, like much else in AZ). Expecting unemployed folks to justify their existence to receive paltry
payments is stupid.; Erin Edwards, Self: Arizona's unemployment is a joke. It's way too low, and now you want to
make it even harder for people to get some help??!!; Louise Good, Self: This bill has no provision for correcting
misinformation.; Beverlee Loat, Self: lets not add more red tape for those seeking employment. Please oppose.
Thank youl; Lawrence Peters, Self: Puts an undue burden on the potential employer to report the applicant. What
defines a “suitable” job offer. Bill does not allow individual to correct any misinformation.; Linda Edwards, Self; Too
cumbersome; Penny Boone, Self: This is a punitive right-wing extremist bill that solves no Az problem. It leaves no |
room for correcting misinformation, but instead carries automatic criminal penalties. Solve Az problems: fund
public schools, water, housing. | oppose.; Anne Leota Hart, Self: We should not be penalizing those who have fost |
Jobs. We should be helping people. And this bill would carrying automatic criminal penalties.; Virginia Dotson, Self: )
This bill is unnecessarily punitive.; Kathteen Dubbs, Self: Let's all punish people who can't find a job! Really?; Sue |
Thorne, Self: too punative a law. Needs to allow correction for misinformation and ghost njob offers. NOI; Mary-
Jeanne Fincher, Self: AZ unemployment benefits are paltry, and yet this bill is trying to make them even harder to
obtain. Please don't do this.; Norman Fuchs, Self: Unemployment is already hard enough without punitive bills like
this one.; Kathleen Collins, Self: | am a registered AZ voter; Rebecca Haynes, Self: Excessive and punitive to people
who are already hurting. And what constitutes a "suitable" job offer?; Mary Nelson, Self: Would make people who
lost their jobs into criminals, not helpful when they are already struggling to find work; John Neville, Self: } would
only hope that whoever supports this bill loses their job very soon and is refused unemployment funds. We need
to help people who lose their jobs, not hurt them.; Jessica Kitterman, Self: The punitive bill leaves no room for
correcting misinformation, instead carrying automatic criminal penalties. Ata weekly maximum of just $320,
Arizona ranks in the bottom 5 nationally for unemployment benefits.; Crystal Bazarnic, Self: Obviously written by
someone who has never struggled with unemployment. Adds unnecessary pressure AND puts a burden on
potential employers. Vote no.; Melinda lyer, Self: This is punitive and leaves no room for correcting misinformation,
instead carrying automatic criminal penalties.; Nancy Branham, Self: . This bill leaves no room for correcting
misinformation, instead carrying automatic criminal penalties. At a weekly maximum of just $320, Arizona ranks in
the bottom 5 nationally for unemployment benefits. Raise benefits THEN add additional actions; Candice Fremouw,
Self: there are already reporting requirements No one wants to survive on unemployment benefits; Margaret
Owen, Self: Awful. This is excessively punitive towards those who are already in a tough spot. If someone fails to
show for an interview, they are automatically reported to DES with criminal penalties?? What if there's an
emergency or if they're in an accident?; Dee Maitland, Self: Another Republican cruelty kicking people when they
are down.; Roy Verdery, Self: Unemployed people have enough strikes against them that they don't need another
punitive law.; Carol Garnett, Self: More burden on employers and the unemployed.; Sandra Adler, Self: Don't
punish people who already have problems; Cynthia Wagner, Self: The punitive bill leaves no room for correcting
misinformation, instead carrying automatic criminal penalties. At a weekly maximum of just $320, Arizona ranks in
the bottom 5 nationally for unemployment benefits.; Carol Waymire, Self: Frighteningly punitive.; Nelson Morgan,
Self: A punitive bill against people who have lost their job, carrying automatic criminal penalties without a clear
way to correct misinformation.; Catherine Hopkins, Self: AT $320 a week, people are looking for appropriate work
for their credentials. They are not living the high life on $320/week. Plus they are looking for work. This fs a bill
with no problem to solve. Just harrass those already stressed; Shelly Gordon-Gray, Self: The bill leaves no room for
correcting misinformation, instead carrying automatic criminal penalties. At a weekly maximum of just $320,
Arizona ranks in the bottom 5 nationally for unemptoyment benefits. Currently people must lose their job.; Karolyn
Switzer, Self: Getting unemployment benefits in Arizona is already quite restricted (and at a low maximum rate).
We don't need to further restrict it, especially with no way to correct mistakes in reporting.; Margaret Tinsley, Self:
Don't make it harder for unemployed Arizonans to survive. Vote no on this; Noah Richman, Self: Unnecessarily
punitive, doesn’t leave enough room to correct mistakes; Marilyn Murov, Self: 2108 is cruel and repressive.
individuals know what jobs suit them, not DES. No one should be forced to take a job that doesn't fit them and
then be denied unemployment if they leave and look for other work. 5 work searches/week is unreasonable.;
Marcia Tingley, Self: A punitive bill with no room for correcting misinformation.; RITA DEPUYDT, Self: This is an
unnecessary, punitive measure that would only create tremendous extra work for government workers.; Aaron
Essif, Self: This is just punitive. We already rank in the bottom 5 nationally for unemployment benefits. And
remember, we all pay this insurance when we are working.; Joseph Myers, Self: Arizona likely needs to raise its
unemployment benefits to a higher standard, when compared to other states in the western region.; Grant Tucker,
Self: This just punishes those who are unemployed, when we should be trying to help them recover. This is positive
punishment.; Rivko Knox, Self: AZ already ranks amongst the lowest states in unemployment benefits. A very
punitive bill that includes criminal penalties for violations, with no opportunity to correct mistakes. NOIII; Eric
Kadel, Self: If there was a mechanism in place that would allow for correcting misinformation | would be in support
of this bill.; Connie Cockrell, Self: No. Automatic punitive damages with no way to correct bad info?; Lois Hansen,
Self: stop putting undue burden on people trying to find employment; Brandy Reese, Self: The punitive bill leaves
no room for correcting misinformation, instead carrying automatic criminal penalties.; Cynthia Paster, Self: This is
punitive.; Lisa Koenig, Self: This bill is overly punative as written. Vote NO.; Jerry Wegenast, Self: There has to be a
better way to reduce fraud. Perhaps fund the agency better.; Theresa Prichard, Self: This bill is unnecessarily
punitive and leaves no room to correct reporting errors. The people who need this safety net pay a steep penalty
that they can ill afford.; Sarah Bihms LD29, Self: Oppose HB2108 in Arizona, as it requires documentation of job
search actions and punishes refusal of suitable job offers. Arizona pays low unemployment benefits and requires
job loss for eligibility. Makes unemployment harder.; Jacob Raiford, Self: We attempt to penalize the unemployed
by restricting assistance in the midst of rampant inflation and dwindling jobs, yet wonder why we're in a housing
crisis. This bill is apathetic and cruel.; Steve Singkofer, Self: I'd suggest this entire bill be scrapped and replaced
with this: No Arizona legislator will bring a bill to the floor unless it contains five peer-reviewed, substantiated
corroborative facts supporting said bill. Stop denigrating the poor. Vote no.

PCT 127 Captain LD 17; Linda Barnes, Self: Please Vote Yes on this bill - the bill didn't come soon enough to a dear
friend who just had to get vaxxed in order to keep his job. Employers need to be put on notice there will be
consequences and | hope you include that as well.; Carol Ayotte, Self: No one should ever be required to show
their vaccination records for employment. Besides enrolling children in school, vaccination records were never
requiréd and should not be required going forward.; Mary Grace Werner, Self: Definitely a Big Yes. This is personal
information not be used against candidates for employment.; Joseph Myers, Self: | am in favor of this bill.
Evidence'is mounting to show people who are C19 vaxxed may likely carry the virus in their bodies and can be
transmitted. Obviously, requiring a health screening is reasonable; Kevin vanderjack, Self: Its none of the
company's business!; Tracie Bunker Metz, Self: Protected Health Information. The Privacy Rule protects all

done, let’s pray that these criminal vaccine companies are punished severely for what they have done to people all
around the world.; LJ Busam, Self: HIPPA Laws were adopted for a reason. It's against the law to share your

Captain in Maricopa County and we need this bill to protect our medical privacy and the illegal forcing of unwanted
medical treatments on us.; Elizabeth Putnam-Hidalgo, Self: NO on HB2303! If your vax status keeps you from being

elsewhere.; Beverlee Loat, Self: Please oppose for the sake of public health and safe workplaces. Thank youl;

iramples on the right of employees who want to remain health and not be infected by unvaccinated coworkers.;
Linda Edwards, Self: Let private employers make this decision; Angela J. Miller, Self: We should not legislate this.
Companies should be free to set conditions for employments, especially when it comes to health and safety of

public health issues, not the Az Leg. Solve Az problems: fund public schools, water, housing. | oppose.; Margaret
Winchell, Self: free-market right; Anne Leota Hart, Self: So you want to respect the free market except in cases of

You can always seek employment elsewhere, since there is no right to procuring any particular job.; Robert
England, Self: The AZ Partnership for Immunization opposes this bill. Being unable even to know who poses an
increased risk to students, patients, and other employees will serve to increase transmission, leading to
unnecessary infection and its consequences.; Cynthia Wagner, Self: Currently, companies can require employees to
be vaccinated, and if someone doesn’t want to work for a business that requires it, they can work somewhere else.
This free-market right is especially important in health care and other industries; Nelson Morgan, Self: Another
anti-health bill, this one restricting the freedom of company to assure the health of their employees and
customers.; Lisa Maczura, Self: Pro-science is pro-business AND pro-life.; Rivko Knox, Self: | thought AZ's R's
supported free enterprise & employer rights?? Apparently not enough to withstand anti vaxxers' cails for this bill.;

with the consequences of their choices. In a free market, businesses are free to hire at will. is AZ biz friendly or
not?; Karolyn Switzer, Self: This fltes directly in the face of free-market rights. Why should a private employer not
be able to guard the safety of employees by requiring vaccination?; Laura Libman, Self: Why is this bill's sponsor
anti-free market? Let companies decide without big brother government interfering.; Eric Kadel, Self: Everyday
you get to make choices and live with those consequences. This is a reality of living in a free country.; Connie
Cockreil, Self: No. No, no, no; Margaret Tinsley, Self: This would be bad in so many ways. Please vote no; Marcia
Tingley, Self: Especially in health care, it is important that companies can require employees to be vaccinated so
they don't infect others who are at high risk of illness and complications.; Richard Gohl, Self: This bill is government
intrusion into free enterprise of businesses controlling the safety and health of its workplace.; Marilyn Murov, Self:

elsewhere if they don't like this requirement; Grant Tucker, Self: We need people to be vaccinated to keep our
community heaithy.; Carmen Terrell, Self: | need clarification on this, but doesn’t this violate HIPPA laws? | think if
one has any kind of vaccination record, that should be kept private. | don't even know why schools and state
assistance requires this and it's been happening for years.; Aaron Essif, Self: if someone doesn't want to work for a
business that requires vaccination, they can work somewhere else.; LINDA GANTVERG, Self: Again, the state should |
not tell private businesses how they can hire. Prospective employees who object to terms don't have to accept the |
offer.; Brandy Reese, Self: Private companies within Arizona should not be prevented from asking about an
employee's vaccination records as a condition of employment, particularly those in the medical field.; RITA |

work for a business that requires it, they can work somewhere else. This free-market right is especially important
in health care and other industries.; Janie Smieszek, Self: A private company should have the right to protect their
workers.; JOHN FIENE, Self: Employers have a right to protect their workforce. Putting others at risk diminishes
productivity. Objectors can seek employment elsewhere.; Jane Atkins, Self: Rather than submitting many
inconsequential bills designed to distract constituents, please address water concerns in AZ.; Susan Heck, Self:
Oppose. No need to require a Bill. They can work elsewhere if they don’t want to be vaccinated; Theresa Prichard,
Self: This is an overreaction to Covid vaccine requirements.; David Myers, Self: Allow companies to manage their
workforce, please.; Margaret Cordovano, Self: An employer should have the right to determine what public health
measures he or she wants his employees to take. Asking for a vaccination record is not unreasonable.; Sarah
Bihms LD29, Self: HB2303 would ban companies in Arizona from asking employees about vaccination records as a
condition of employment, undermining free-market rights. Please Vote NO, as this would be dangerous especially
in healthcare and other industries.; Mariana Spier, Self: What happened to the free market?; Jacob Raiford, Self:
Thousands of people have died from the covid epidemic and our republican elected officials are weaponizing
dangerous misinformation about vaccines for political ammunition. Stop playing with our lives. This bill is
dangerous.

All Comments:
James Roth, Self: 1am a Precinct Captain in Maricopa County and this bill should not be necessary but in these
times when the government and big business want to exercise surveillance over us, it is necessary that we can
protect ourselves from using trackable paymen; John Matthews, Self: Economic Freedoms are important.; Shirley
Dye, Self: There should not be a requirement for debit or credit cards only. Cash is the best form for purchases
anywhere.; Ed Davis, Self: NOT EVERYONE IS EQUIPPED TO LIVE IN A NONCASH ENVIRONMENT; Jere Fredenburgh,
Self: You would not think this is necessary, but since entities are ‘pushing! for cards/paypal etc...instead of plain old

bill. There can be no political freedom without economic freedom. The ability to use cash for transactions is an

as our legal tender. Going cashless could mean an individual's right to buy and sell could be cut-off by a

need to stop the practices that are trying to take our freedom away!!; Mary Grace Werner, Self: Cash should be
acceptable payment for purchases and other services. Because someone uses cash, they should not be penalized
by charging them an additional fee. Reafly!; Alan Nichols, Self: As the Chairman Of Legislative District 18, | strongly
urge approval off this bill because it makes all transactions in Arizona to be done openly and without any control
on payments; Mary Ann Johnston, Seif: i have several elderly friends who don't have a computer, smart phone and
still believe Cash is King and don't credit card their life away. We need fess government intrusions.; Carrie Heikkala,
Self: There can be no political freedom without economic freedom. The ability to use cash for transactions is an
essential part of economic freedom!; Cynthia Newswander, Self; cash i; Martha Bloch, Self: No CBDC ever.; Aaron
Strassberg, Self: | use cash because cash is essential. Should be backed by gold and get rid of the federal reserve.
They want to digitize our money so they can enter the social credit system and then shut down our accounts. God
bless our cash system.; LJ Busam, Self: This Bill is a no-brainer. It's a shame that we even have to create a law like
this.; Mary Evelyn Simpson, Self: Yav GOP PC, AZ resident. Financial freedom as essential as everyother freedom.
An excellent proactive measure to block the digital currency plans; Dianna Guzman, Self: | am a smail business
owner a PC, SC and Chair for LD24. We accept cash along with other forms of payments. No to the cashless
society.; Mark Stevens, Self: cash is a viable means of paying for goods/services. it's not acceptable to charge a fee

services by requiring businesses with a physical focationto accept cash as a form of payment. Cash transactions
important to protect 4th Amendment.; Carol Stines, Self: Protect the 4th amendment and support his bill; Elouise
Flagg, Self: Re reading this | have changed positions on this issuie; Jessica O'Connor, Self: Citizens should be
allowed to pay with cash or silver and gold. We don't want to transition into a digital economy where things can
be manipulated by banks, businesses or governments.; diane marins, Self: no credit scoring; Michael Mote, Self: It
would be very dangerous to personal freedoms if cash is not allowed for purchases made in person.; Danielle Earl,
Self: Navajo County PC - ESG scoring is the MOST IMPORTANT thing to completely gut out of EVERYTHING! This
public/private partnership scheme to destroy our constitution must be stopped at all costs!; Chris Russo, Self: | am
a PC in Prescott Valley. | have been asking about a bill like this for some time. | am happy to see this bill finally
coming to fruition.; Walter Grandfield, Self: | have the right to privacy when | make purchases. Just to let you know,
we the people will never accept a centralized digital currency. PC LD12 Thunderhill; Shelley Spucces, Self: If only
electronic money is allowed, then someone else can cut off or eliminate my money. TERRIFYINGI!; Joelene
Williamson, Self: we must preserve cash; Susan Cheatham, Self: Protects individ liberty & helps stop social credit

person) 2 accept cash as a form of payment.Cash transactions protect 4th amendment; Sue Unverricht, Self: Cash
is an important budgeting tool for so many of us. Using cash helps people avoid overspending; and is necessary

Jacqueline Quinn, Self: THIS IS ESSENTIAL TO OUR LIBERTY! { am one of the small businesses as well as being an Az
consumer who cares about the freedom of us alll; Mary Tuczakov, Self: Using cash is fundamental to commerce
and as exchange for goods and services. Using cash protects a person's Constitutionally-protected individual
liberties and privacy by preventing tracking. It must always be an option.; Eric Emmert, East Valley Chambers Of
Commerce Alliance : Business owners should have the freedom to run their businesses as they see fit. Just as
customers have the freedom to choose another business.; David Kahn, REPUBLICAN LIBERTY CAUCUS OF ARIZONA:
As written, there are two problems. 1) online businesses in AZ are not exempted; 2) businesses with long-standing
legitimate need to require check or other payment {such as apartment rental) are prohibited from continuing this
practice.; Bill Brown, Self: Government should not be telling business how to operate. if they want to accept dirt as
payment, so be it.; Denny Thomason, Seif: PC in Mesa: | oppose this bill. Businesses should be able to risk losing
cash paying customers if they so choose. The customers can choose to do business elsewhere. It is against free
market policy to force a business to accept cash.; Madaleine McDonald, Self: unconstitutional to infringe on how a
business accepts payment! much less create fines against them for not following a stupid law! We need less
government not-morel; Sandra Sherwood, Self: Cash is our legal tender, there should never be a physical location
of a business that can refuse it that fs simply ridiculous. And it helps protect our 4th Amendment; Jacqueline Mesa,
Self: True that private businesses should be protected, but digital currently can and probably will be used to
enforce the ESGs and Social Credit Scores. This may prevent them from being able to do that.

HB 2065: home insurers; discrimination; prohibition
Sponsor: Representative Carter, LD 15
Committee on Commerce
Overview
Excludes age as a factor used to calculate an insurance score.
History
An insurance score is a designation that is derived by using a variety of data sources, including
an individual's consumer report in an algorithm, computer program, model or other process that
reduces the data to a number, alpha character or rating that is used for insurance underwriting
and rating decisions (A.R.S. § 20-2101).
When calculating an insurance score to determine property or casual premiums for insurance
transactions, insurers are prohibited from using the following types of credit history: 1) the
absence of a credit history; 2) credit histories or insurance scores based on collection accounts
identified with a medical industry code; 3) a bankruptcy or lien that exceeds seven years; 4) the
consumer's use of a specific credit card or debit card; 5) the consumer's cumulative available line
of credit with the exception of outstanding debt; 6) an insurance score that is calculated using
income, gender, address, zip code, ethnic group, religion, marital status or nationality of the
consumer. However, an insurer is permitted to use the consumer's zip code, address, gender and
marital status for underwriting purposes (A.R.S. § 20-2110).
Insurers use insurance scores primarily in underwriting and rating of consumers. Underwriting is
the process by which the insurer determines whether a consumer is eligible for coverage and
rating is the process that determines how much premium to charge a consumer (NAIC).
Provisions
1. Prohibits an insurer from calculating an insurance score or using an insurance score
calculated by a third-party if such score used age as a factor. (Sec. 1)
2. Permits an insurer to use age for underwriting purposes. (Sec. 1)
