SB1030 amends Arizona Revised Statutes Section 13-2505, which pertains to escape and related offenses. The bill expands the authority of city or town correctional facilities, in addition to the state department of corrections and county jails, to request a licensed practitioner to order x-radiation on any inmate suspected of possessing contraband. It also allows these city or town correctional facilities to perform body scans using low-dose ionizing radiation without a practitioner's order to prevent contraband from entering the facility.

The bill makes technical changes and clarifies that any person with reasonable grounds to believe there has been a violation of the section must report it to the facility's official in charge or a peace officer. The bill's provisions become effective on the general effective date.
