If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes regarding the notification process for probation hearings of convicted sexual offenders. Specifically, it would broaden the notification requirements to include not only the probation hearing but also any prehearings related to the probationer. This change is reflected in the insertion of the phrase "and any prehearing that are held pursuant to this section" after the mention of the probation hearing. Additionally, the bill makes a technical change by replacing the word "prior to" with "before" in the context of when the probation report must be submitted to the court.

Furthermore, the bill updates the language regarding the notification of victims and their attorneys by clarifying their rights under the victims' bill of rights in Arizona. It removes outdated references to "the Constitution of this state" and "title 13, chapter 40" while inserting "Arizona" and "of this title" to ensure clarity and relevance. Overall, these updates aim to enhance the legal framework surrounding probation hearings for sexual offenders, ensuring that all relevant parties are adequately informed.
