Sponsor: Senator Shamp, LD 29
Committee on Judiciary
Overview
Prohibits the court from terminating or shortening the probationary period earlier than the originally imposed time of any person convicted of a dangerous crime against a child.
History
Statute outlines enhanced penalties for certain serious offenses if the victim of the offense is under a certain age, labeling these crimes as a dangerous crime against children. A dangerous crime against children is in the first degree if it is a completed offense and is in the second degree if it is a preparatory offense, except attempted first degree murder, which is a dangerous crime against children in the first degree (A.R.S. § 13-705).
Statute allows multiple avenues through which a person on probation may have his probationary period shortened or terminated early including:
1) a hearing before the court, if in the court's opinion, the ends of justice will be served by the reduction or termination;
2) at an annual probation review hearing; or
3) through either earned time credit or work time credit, as proscribed by law (A.R.S. §§ 13-901; 13-923; 13-924).
Provisions
1. Prohibits the court from terminating or shortening the probationary period of any person convicted of a dangerous crime against children for any reason or at any time. (Sec. 1, 2, 3)
2. Makes technical changes. (Sec. 1, 2, 3)
