HB 2771: community supervision; rehabilitation; costs
Sponsor: Representative Powell, LD 14
House Engrossed
Overview
Permits the Department of Corrections (DOC) to recover reasonable costs for a prisoner’s participation in a rehabilitation program during community supervision.
History
Under current law, when a person is sentenced to prison for a felony, the court must also impose a term of community supervision that is served consecutively to the prison term if the person signs and agrees to abide by supervision conditions established by DOC (A.R.S. § 13-603).
As a condition of community supervision, DOC must require a person released from prison to pay a monthly supervision fee of at least $65, though DOC may set a lower amount upon finding the prisoner unable to pay. Additionally, statute authorizes DOC to require the prisoner to pay reasonable drug-testing program costs; such payments are capped to not exceed DOC's costs for the program, and monies are to be used only to offset the costs of the program (A.R.S. § 31-418).
Provisions
1. Adds that DOC may charge a prisoner for the reasonable costs of a rehabilitation program. (Sec. 1)
2. Makes technical changes. (Sec. 1)
