Fifty-Seventh Legislature, Second Regular Session

FACT SHEET FOR H.B. 2771

community supervision; rehabilitation; costs

Purpose

Allows the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry (ADCRR) to require as a condition of community supervision that a prisoner pay the reasonable costs associated with the prisoner's participation in a rehabilitation program.

Background

            If a person is convicted of a felony offense and the court sentences the person to a term of imprisonment, the court at the time of sentencing must impose on the convicted person a term of community supervision. The term of community supervision must be served consecutively to the actual period of imprisonment if the person signs and agrees to abide by the conditions of supervision established by ADCRR. During the period of time that the prisoner remains on community supervision, ADCRR must require that the prisoner pay a monthly supervision fee of at least $65 unless, after determining the inability of the prisoner to pay the fee, ADCRR requires payment of a lesser amount. The supervising community supervision officer must monitor the collection of the fee (A.R.S. §§ 13-603 and 31-418).

            In addition to any other fee, ADCRR may require as a condition of community supervision that a prisoner pay the reasonable costs associated with the prisoner's participation in a drug testing program. The prisoner's costs must not exceed ADCRR's cost for the drug testing program. The monies collected by ADCRR may only be used to offset the costs of the drug testing program (A.R.S. § 31-418).

            There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this legislation.
