Bill overview
This bill makes significant changes to Arizona’s parole system for individuals sentenced to life in prison. It repeals existing laws regarding parole eligibility for life sentences, specifically sections related to mandatory minimums and the conditions under which prisoners can be released. The bill amends statutes to clarify the classification system for parole eligibility, including establishing two classes (one for dangerous psychiatric offenders) and outlining the process for reclassification and recertification. It also modifies the criteria for determining parole eligibility, particularly for those sentenced to life imprisonment.
