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.
