Bill > SB1110

This bill modifies existing Arizona law regarding corrections and community supervision. It amends a section concerning community supervision fees, ensuring the monthly fee remains at $65 unless a prisoner cannot afford it, and clarifies that 70% of these fees go to victim compensation and 30% to a community corrections enhancement fund, which will now also receive funds from a newly added section. The bill also introduces a new section establishing eligibility criteria for a home confinement program, requiring inmates to have served at least one year of their sentence, be within 18 months of release, and not have prior convictions for serious or violent felonies, among other conditions. This program will involve electronic monitoring, and participants may be required to pay a monthly supervision fee that also contributes to the community corrections enhancement fund. The bill outlines rules for the program, including victim notification and input, and specifies that participants remain under inmate status and can be returned to custody for violations. It also sets a ratio for supervising officers to participants and details how certain violations can affect an inmate's release date. The home confinement program's applicability will phase in based on the remaining time on an inmate's sentence, starting in late 2026 and fully applying to those with 18 months left by mid-2027.
