SB 1767 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

ADOC; director; educational programs

SB 1767 requires Arizona state prisons to fund specific educational programs - including functional literacy, GED preparation, vocational training, and postsecondary courses in industries like healthcare and technology - using a dedicated budget. It prohibits using these funds for inmates sentenced to death, life imprisonment without parole, or classified as maximum custody, but allows programs for minors under 18 and disabled inmates under 22. The bill also explicitly bans policies excluding inmates serving natural life or life without parole from educational or vocational opportunities. These changes apply directly to all Arizona state correctional facilities and their inmate populations.
