The proposed bill, SB1739, seeks to update current Arizona statutes by introducing new provisions and modifying existing ones to enhance criminal justice and reentry services. Key updates include the establishment of a Coordinated Reentry Services Program that requires counties to report on mental health and substance use risks, as well as recidivism rates among individuals completing screenings. Additionally, the bill mandates the creation of a Sexual Assault Kit Tracking System, ensuring victims can monitor the status of their evidence while maintaining confidentiality. It also modifies the structure of the Sex Offender Management Board to require specific expertise among its members.

Furthermore, the bill proposes the repeal of certain statutes, specifically sections 41-2832 and 41-2833, and makes adjustments to the administration of funds related to anti-human trafficking and opioid claims. It delays the prohibition on transferring funds from the Anti-Racketeering Revolving Fund to the state General Fund and establishes new requirements for the Attorney General regarding opioid claims-related litigation. Overall, SB1739 aims to improve accountability, transparency, and efficiency within the criminal justice system while addressing critical issues related to reentry, sexual assault, and substance abuse.
