Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Arizona's laws regarding parole eligibility and terrorism offenses. It repeals two existing statutes (sections 13-716 and 13-718) and modifies provisions related to parole for certain life sentences. Specifically, the bill amends the terrorism offense statute to remove a reference to a repealed section when describing sentencing conditions for terrorism convictions. In the parole eligibility statute, the bill updates the applicability of parole classification rules to clarify that it applies to persons who commit felony offenses on or after January 1, 1994, and receive a life sentence (but not natural life), replacing the previous language that referenced now-repealed statutes. The bill maintains the existing two-class parole eligibility system, where prisoners can be classified in class one or class two based on their behavior, participation in programs, and compliance with department rules. The changes aim to streamline and clarify the conditions under which prisoners serving life sentences may be considered for parole, while removing outdated statutory references.
