The proposed bill seeks to amend section 8-390 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically regarding the notification process for juvenile offenders. Under the current law, if the court determines that providing five days' notice to the prosecutor's office is not reasonable, it must document the reasons for this decision. This provision remains unchanged.

The bill introduces new language that clarifies the responsibilities of the prosecutor's office. While the current statute mandates that the prosecutor's office provide timely notice to the victim upon request, the bill modifies this by removing the word "shall" and replacing it with "shall" in a more definitive context. Additionally, it emphasizes that the prosecutor's office must inform the victim of any changes in the schedule and that a predisposition or disposition proceeding may occur immediately following adjudication.
