Overview

Modifies the percentage of monies withdrawn from prisoner spendable accounts for restitution purposes.

History

Under current law, the Director of the Department of Corrections (DOC) is required to withdraw monies from a prisoner's spendable account to pay the prisoner's restitution. The Director is permitted to withdraw anywhere from 20% to 50%, of the monies available in the prisoner's spendable account each month, for this purpose (A.R.S. §§ 13-603, 31-230).

Provisions

1. Instructs the Director of DOC, when withdrawing monies from a prisoner's spendable account to pay restitution, to withdraw more than the minimum 20% of available monies if so ordered by the court. (Sec. 1)
