Ariz. Admin. Code § R2-5A-303 - Reference and Background Checks
A candidate may be required to furnish, at the candidate's own expense, evidence of education or other qualification. The appointing authority is responsible for verifying education, work experience, applicable license or licenses and references provided by candidates on the application form and in interviews. An appointing authority shall not conduct a criminal background check or a credit check on a candidate unless the agency has statutory or executive order authority to conduct such a check.
