Bill > SB1630

This bill establishes the Sex Offender Management Board in Arizona, which is tasked with developing, prescribing, and implementing guidelines, standards, and procedures relating to the evaluation, treatment, and supervision of adult sex offenders, including those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as juveniles who have committed sexual offenses. The board is composed of members representing various stakeholders, such as the judicial system, law enforcement, mental health professionals, victim advocates, and others with relevant expertise. The board's duties include creating standard procedures for evaluating and managing adult sex offenders, developing intervention methods and treatment programs, and making recommendations to the legislature on the effective use of funds for these purposes. The board will also research the effectiveness of its policies and procedures and revise them as necessary. The bill provides the board with the authority to collect data and information from service providers to aid in its evaluations. The board is set to terminate on July 1, 2032, and the underlying statute is repealed on January 1, 2033.
