This bill proposes significant updates to current statutes regarding the home confinement program administered by the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry (ADCRR). It introduces a new eligibility framework for inmates seeking to participate in the home confinement program, specifying criteria such as having served at least one year of their sentence, being within 18 months of release, and not having prior convictions for serious or violent offenses. The bill also mandates that ADCRR adopt rules for the program, including application processes, eligibility requirements, and the need for inmates to engage in gainful employment or education unless prevented by a disability.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing provisions related to supervision fees and the allocation of collected funds. It establishes a monthly supervision fee of $65, with provisions for reduced fees based on the inmate's financial situation. The bill also stipulates that funds collected will be divided between the victim compensation fund and the newly established community corrections enhancement fund. Furthermore, it outlines the monitoring requirements for inmates in the home confinement program, including electronic surveillance, and sets conditions under which home confinement can be revoked. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the structure and oversight of the home confinement program while ensuring equitable access for eligible inmates.
