HB2273 is a bill that mandates the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry (ADCRR) to conduct a comprehensive study on the potential conversion of the Marana Prison site into a transitional facility for inmates nearing release. The study will assess whether the site can be repurposed for inmates scheduled to be released within 60 days, evaluate the feasibility of establishing a program to provide transitional skills and services, and identify current and additional resources needed for such a facility and program.

The bill requires the ADCRR to submit a report with the study's findings and recommendations to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives by June 1, 2025. The legislative requirement for the prison site study will be repealed on July 1, 2025, and the bill will become effective on the general effective date.
