Overview
This bill amends Arizona’s probation laws to prioritize the use of the least restrictive conditions possible for probationers. It requires courts and probation officers to consider whether standard or special conditions of probation are truly necessary, aligning with a defendant’s risk assessment. The bill also establishes a process for courtesy transfer of intensive probation supervision to another county and outlines procedures for calculating probation periods and awarding earned time and work time credits to probationers who meet certain requirements. Finally, it clarifies the circumstances under which probation can be revoked or modified.
