Fifty-Fifth Legislature, Second Regular Session
FACT SHEET FOR H.B. 2326
criminal justice data collection
Purpose
Requires the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC) to require all superior court
probation departments in Arizona to submit outlined identifying and conviction information to
ACJC for each person in Arizona who is in violation of a federal immigration law, convicted of a
misdemeanor or felony offence and placed on supervised probation.
Background
ACJC is designated as the central collection point for criminal justice data collection and
may require, unless prohibited by federal or state law, any state or local criminal justice agency to
submit any necessary information that is currently collected and readily reportable by the agency
at the time of the request (A.R.S. § 41-2408). Criminal justice agency means either: 1) any court
with criminal or equivalent jurisdiction; or 2) a government agency that is authorized to perform
the administration of criminal justice and that allocates more than 50 percent of the agency's annual
budget to the administration of criminal justice (A.R.S. § 41-1750).
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this
legislation.
Provisions
1. Requires ACJC, unless prohibited by federal or state law, to require all superior court probation
departments in Arizona to submit to ACJC, for each person in Arizona who is in violation of
a federal immigration law, convicted of a misdemeanor or felony offence and placed on
supervised probation:
a) the person's name;
b) the crime of which the person is convicted;
c) the date of the conviction;
d) the sentence imposed; and
e) a photograph of the person and the person's height and weight, if readily available.
2. Requires ACJC to make the outlined information available to the public on ACJC's website.
3. Specifies that ACJC is not authorized to require state or local criminal justice agencies to
collect or maintain any new data collection that is not required by statute.
4. Makes technical and conforming changes.
5. Becomes effective on the general effective date. FACT SHEET
