This bill proposes updates to current statutes regarding probationers participating in apprenticeship programs. Under the new provisions, a probationer on standard probation who is involved in a state or federally recognized apprenticeship program would be allowed to work at any hours of the day, provided they maintain good standing with the program. Additionally, the bill permits these probationers to travel within Arizona to work in their apprenticeship program outside of their residential jurisdiction.

The current law does not specifically address the working hours or travel permissions for probationers engaged in apprenticeship programs. The bill introduces these new allowances, thereby enhancing the opportunities for probationers to gain work experience while fulfilling their probation requirements. The changes aim to support rehabilitation and reintegration into the workforce for individuals on probation.
