apprenticeship; supervised probation.

HB 2488 allows probationers in Arizona who are enrolled in state or federally recognized apprenticeship programs to work flexible hours (as long as they maintain good standing with the program) and travel outside their home jurisdiction for work, provided they return to their home jurisdiction by 11:59 p.m. each day. The bill directly affects individuals on supervised probation who are participating in approved apprenticeships. Key provisions remove prior restrictions on work hours and out-of-jurisdiction travel for these probationers, as long as program requirements are met. This policy change streamlines participation in apprenticeship programs while maintaining supervision requirements. The law was signed by the governor in May 2025.
