The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding the transfer of probation supervision by removing the requirement that a probationer must request a courtesy transfer at the time of sentencing or disposition. This change allows probationers greater flexibility in making such requests, as they can now do so at any time during their probation period. The bill also includes technical changes to the language of the statute.

Specifically, the bill deletes the phrase "At the time of sentencing or disposition," which currently stipulates when a probationer must submit their request for a courtesy transfer. The remaining provisions regarding the conditions under which a probationer can request a transfer, such as providing proof of family caregiver obligations or employment, remain unchanged. Overall, this update aims to streamline the process for probationers seeking to transfer their supervision to another county in Arizona.
