Sponsor: Representative Hernandez A, LD 20
House Engrossed
Overview
Grants additional work hours and travel permissions to certain persons on probation if they are participating in an apprenticeship program.
History
If a person who has been convicted of an offense is eligible for probation, the court may suspend the imposition or execution of sentence and must place the person on probation on such terms and conditions as the law requires and the court deems appropriate (A.R.S. § 13-901).
If the court imposes a term of probation, the court may require the defendant to report to a probation officer; the court or the defendant's probation officer may allow the defendant to fulfill a reporting requirement through remote reporting. The probation officer must take into consideration and make accommodations for the probationer's work schedule, family caregiver obligations, substance abuse programs, mental health treatments, transportation availability and medical care requirements before setting the reporting time and location requirements for the probationer (A.R.S. § 13-901).
1. Permits a probationer who is on standard probation, and participating in a state or federally recognized apprenticeship program, to do both of the following:
a) work during any hours of the day, while in good standing with the apprenticeship; and
b) travel outside his residing jurisdiction to work in the apprenticeship, provided he remains within Arizona. (Sec. 1)
