This bill proposes several updates to the current statutes regarding probation in Arizona. Notably, it introduces a restriction that prohibits the court from terminating the period of probation or intensive probation earlier than originally imposed for defendants convicted of a dangerous crime against children, as defined in section 13-705. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the probation department must submit a probation report to the court before the hearing, and it modifies the language regarding the rights of victims to align with Arizona's constitutional provisions.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions that apply to individuals currently serving a term of lifetime probation for a dangerous crime against children, as well as those who commit such offenses and are placed on lifetime probation after the bill's effective date. The act is designated as an emergency measure, indicating its immediate necessity for public safety and health.
