lifetime probation; early termination
SB 1208 modifies Arizona's probation law for individuals sentenced to "lifetime probation." It prohibits courts from terminating this specific probation term early, requiring defendants to serve at least 25 years before possible discharge. This change applies only to those under lifetime probation sentences (typically for serious offenses), not standard probation terms. The bill does not alter other probation rules, such as the $65 monthly fee for supervised probation or standard revocation procedures.
