The proposed bill would update current statutes by directing the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry (ADCRR) to conduct a comprehensive study regarding the potential conversion of the Marana Prison site into a transitional facility for inmates nearing release. Specifically, the bill mandates that the study assess the feasibility of establishing a program that provides transitional skills and connects inmates to other services, as well as analyze existing resources and identify any additional state resources needed for this purpose.

Additionally, the bill requires ADCRR to submit a report with the study's findings and recommendations to key state officials by June 1, 2026. Furthermore, the bill includes a provision that repeals the study requirement after June 30, 2026. Overall, these insertions aim to enhance the state's approach to inmate reentry and transitional support while removing outdated language related to the prison site study.
