HB 2046 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

annual probation review; prehearing; notification

HB 2046 requires annual court reviews for young adults under 22 who were convicted of sexual offenses as minors and must register under Arizona law. The bill mandates that probation departments prepare reports for these hearings, and specifies that prosecutors, defense attorneys, victims (or their attorneys), and probation officers must be notified. At each hearing, the court must decide whether to continue, modify, or end probation, registration requirements, or community notification. This law standardizes the review process, ensuring consistent annual evaluations for this specific group of probationers.
