Caucus & COW
Overview
Allows the court to consider work time credit when adjusting the probation period. Contains a
delayed effective date of January 1, 2023.
History
The court may consider earned time credit when adjusting a person's probation period. Earned
time credit equals 20 days for every 30 days a probationer complies with their case plan and any
other obligation. If a probationer violates probation conditions, any earned time credit is revoked.
Earned time credit does not apply to a probationer who is:
1) On lifetime probation;
2) On probation for any class 2 or 3 felony;
3) On probation exclusively for a misdemeanor offense; or
4) Required to register as a sex offender (A.R.S. § 13-924).
The court may terminate the period of probation at an earlier time than imposed (A.R.S. § 13-
924).
