probation supervision; least restrictive conditions
SB 1662 (Arizona Revised Statutes §13-901) requires courts to impose probation conditions that are "reasonably necessary" for public safety, rehabilitation, and helping defendants live lawfully - using validated risk assessments to tailor requirements to individual needs. It mandates probation officers to waive unnecessary standard conditions and justify any special condition as the least restrictive option needed to meet these goals. The bill also establishes a $65 monthly probation fee (waivable for indigent individuals) to fund adult probation services, with fees directed to county probation funds. These changes directly affect individuals on probation in Arizona courts by standardizing how conditions are set and funded.

The bill's scope of applicability remains focused on Arizona probation procedures, but the operational rules for transferring supervision between counties were refined.
REQUIREMENT
Updated the rule regarding the transfer of intensive probation supervision or supervised probation back to the original county, explicitly limiting this action to revocation hearings or court orders.
