The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding community supervision by allowing the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry (ADCRR) to require prisoners to pay for the reasonable costs associated with their participation in rehabilitation programs, in addition to existing fees. Specifically, it would insert language to allow these costs to be included as a condition of community supervision, thereby expanding the financial responsibilities of individuals under supervision. The bill also stipulates that the funds collected for rehabilitation programs can only be used to offset the costs of those programs.

Additionally, the bill makes technical adjustments to existing language, such as clarifying the percentage of collected fees that are allocated to various funds. It maintains the requirement for a monthly supervision fee of at least $65, while ensuring that the costs associated with drug testing or rehabilitation programs do not exceed the department's actual costs for those programs. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the financial framework surrounding community supervision and rehabilitation efforts.
