Bill > SB1208

This bill amends Arizona law to establish a minimum period of twenty-five years before lifetime probation can be modified or terminated. Specifically, it adds a provision to section 13-901 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which governs probation, stating that if a defendant was sentenced to lifetime probation, the court cannot alter or end that probation before twenty-five years have been served. This change is also reflected in section 13-923, which deals with annual probation review hearings for certain offenders, ensuring that the twenty-five-year minimum applies to modifications or terminations considered during these hearings as well. The bill's intent is to create a longer mandatory period of supervision for individuals sentenced to lifetime probation.
