SB 1343: probation supervision; transfer
Sponsor: Senator Bolick, LD 2
Committee on Government
Overview
Authorizes a probationer to make a written request at any time to transfer their probation
to another county in Arizona.
History
At the time of sentencing or disposition a probationer can make a written request to the
supervising probation department for a courtesy transfer of their probation to another county
in this state if the probationer: 1) intends to reside in that county; and 2) provides proof of
family caregiver obligations or actual or offered employment or housing that will assist in the
probationer's positive behavioral change. Upon receipt of the request, the supervising
probation department must: 1) confirm the probationer's employment, housing or family
caregiving plans; 2) review any victim safety concerns; and 3) submit the request to the
receiving county. After the receiving county has received and verified the written request,
they must provide the sending probation department with permission for the probationer to
proceed to the county. Once the probationer resides in the new county they may not be sent
back to the original county except by a court order or revocation hearing (A.R.S. § 13-901).
