SB 1240: probation success incentive payments; calculation
Sponsor: Senator Shamp, LD 29
Committee on Judiciary
Overview
Directs the administrative office of the courts to exclude probationers convicted of dangerous crimes against children when calculating county probation success incentive payments.
History
Statute directs the administrative office of the courts, in consultation with each county's adult probation department, to calculate a county probation success incentive payment for each county for the most recently completed fiscal year. This calculation is based on how many probationers were successfully prevented from entering prison, the county-specific historical baselines and the marginal cost of incarceration in the county (A.R.S. § 12-270).
Subject to legislative appropriation, the administrative office of the courts is required to proportionately allocate these incentive payments to each county based on the specific calculations made. Counties are directed to use these payments and any monies received from a statewide probation success incentive grant to improve supervision and rehabilitative services for probationers, including implementing and expanding evidence-based practices, intermediate sanctions, rehabilitation programs and recognizing and rewarding probation officers in adult probation departments (A.R.S. § 12-270).
