Bill > HCR2026

This resolution amends Arizona law to expand probation eligibility for individuals convicted of personal possession or use of controlled substances or drug paraphernalia, generally requiring courts to suspend sentences and place such individuals on probation, with a mandatory condition of participation in drug treatment or education programs, though individuals convicted of violent crimes, those with prior convictions for sale or manufacturing, or those who refuse treatment may be ineligible and sentenced under different statutes; importantly, it adds a provision that makes individuals convicted of possessing or using methamphetamine or fentanyl (unless prescribed) ineligible for this specific probation, while also clarifying that these provisions do not prevent probation under other existing laws if the individual qualifies.
