This bill proposes updates to section 13-923 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning probation procedures. It specifies that the probation department supervising the probationer must prepare and submit a probation report to the court before the hearing, replacing the current phrasing that simply states "prior to" the hearing.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the notification requirements for individuals regarding the probation hearing. It introduces the term "probation" to the context of the hearing and specifies that any victim or victim's attorney entitled to be present and heard under the victims' bill of rights will be notified, while also correcting references to the Constitution of Arizona and removing outdated legal language.
