If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by adding a new section to Title 13, Chapter 9 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically addressing probationers participating in recognized apprenticeship programs. The bill would allow probationers on standard probation to work at any hours of the day, provided they remain in good standing with their apprenticeship program. Additionally, it would permit these probationers to travel within Arizona to work in their apprenticeship programs, even if that work is outside their residential jurisdiction.

The bill also makes specific deletions and modifications to existing language. It removes the requirement that probationers must return to their jurisdiction by a certain time each day to qualify for travel exceptions related to their apprenticeship work. Furthermore, it clarifies that the travel for work must be within the state of Arizona, thereby streamlining the conditions under which probationers can engage in apprenticeship activities while on probation.
