The Arizona Disclosure and Consent for a Consumer and Investigative Report and Release Authorization is a legal document that allows employers or other entities to obtain and review personal information about individuals for employment, rental, or volunteer purposes. This authorization is in accordance with the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Arizona Revised Statutes. This document ensures that individuals are aware that their personal information may be obtained and reviewed by the requesting entity. It requires their consent for the release of this information, which typically includes but is not limited to their criminal history, credit history, employment history, and education verification. The Arizona Disclosure and Consent for a Consumer and Investigative Report and Release Authorization typically consists of several sections. These sections may include: 1. Disclosure statement: This section informs the individual that a consumer or investigative report may be obtained for purposes such as employment, rental, or volunteer consideration. It also explains that the information provided in the report may be used to make decisions about their eligibility for the desired position or opportunity. 2. Consent statement: This portion of the document ensures that the individual gives their explicit consent for the release of their personal information to the requesting entity. It acknowledges that they understand the purpose of the report and the potential impact it may have on their eligibility. 3. Rights under FCRA: This section outlines the individual's rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, such as their right to request a copy of their report, to dispute inaccurate information, and to be notified if adverse action is taken based on the report. 4. Release authorization: The release authorization section specifically authorizes the requesting entity to obtain the individual's consumer and investigative reports. It may also include a release of liability clause, stating that the requesting entity cannot be held responsible for any adverse outcomes resulting from the use of the information provided in the report. Different types of Arizona Disclosure and Consent for a Consumer and Investigative Report and Release Authorization may exist based on the specific purpose for obtaining the individual's personal information. For example, there may be separate authorization forms for employment background checks, rental applications, or volunteer screening processes. However, the overall purpose of these forms remains the same — to obtain consent and disclose the potential use of personal information for decision-making purposes.
