This bill proposes amendments to Section 13-3821 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning the monitoring of sex offenders. Under current law, if a person does not have a permanent address, they are required to provide a description and physical location of any temporary residence and register as a transient every ninety days with the sheriff. The bill retains this requirement but removes the phrase "If the person does not have an address or a permanent place of residence," streamlining the language.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions that mandate the court to place individuals without a permanent address on global positioning system (GPS) or electronic monitoring until they secure a permanent residence. It also stipulates that the Department of Public Safety will be responsible for maintaining and monitoring these individuals while they are on GPS or electronic monitoring. This new language does not interfere with existing monitoring requirements for individuals on probation, parole, or other forms of supervised release.
