The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by adding a new section to title 13, chapter 9 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. This new section would specifically address the conditions under which probationers participating in state or federally recognized apprenticeship programs can work and travel. Under the new provisions, probationers on standard probation would be allowed to work at any hours of the day, provided they remain in good standing with their apprenticeship program. Additionally, they would be permitted to travel within Arizona to work in their apprenticeship program, even if that work is outside their residential jurisdiction.

The bill introduces these provisions as new legal language, while the existing laws regarding probation remain unchanged. This update aims to facilitate the employment opportunities for probationers engaged in apprenticeship programs, thereby supporting their rehabilitation and reintegration into the workforce.
