Summary — SB 1112 (SAFETY-TECH)

Status: Senate Engrossed; Rule 3-9(a) / Re‑referred to Assignments (4/11/2025)
Introduced: February 5, 2025
Primary sponsor: Sen. T. J. Shope (co‑sponsors: Aquino, McKelvey)
Session: Arizona, 57th Legislature, 1st Regular Session, 2025
Related: HB 2402 and HB 1465 (companions)

Purpose / Intent

SB 1112 creates a statutory accommodation to help people on probation participate in state or federally recognized apprenticeship programs by removing common curfew/time and limited‑travel barriers. The bill aims to facilitate workforce training and reintegration for qualifying probationers.

Key provisions

  • Adds Arizona Revised Statutes § 13‑912 (new).
  • Provides that a probationer who is on probation and who is participating in a state or federally recognized apprenticeship program may:
    1. Work at any hours of the day so long as the probationer remains in good standing with the apprenticeship program (i.e., removes curfew/hour restrictions linked to supervision).
    2. Travel outside the probationer’s home jurisdiction within the state to work in the apprenticeship program.

Version differences (material)

  • Introduced version: referred to a person “on supervised probation,” and limited travel by requiring the probationer to return to their home jurisdiction by 11:59 p.m. each day.
  • Senate Engrossed version: uses the phrase “standard probation” (broader/alternative supervisory category) and omits the daily return requirement, allowing in‑state travel outside the home jurisdiction without the nightly return limitation.

Who is affected

  • Directly: probationers on the specified form of probation who are enrolled in a state or federally recognized apprenticeship program.
  • Indirectly: probation officers, courts that set terms of probation, apprenticeship sponsors/employers, and county/city probation offices (may need to adjust supervision practices and coordination across jurisdictions).

Practical impacts and considerations

  • Facilitates participation in apprenticeship programs that require night, rotating, or variable shifts and jobs located outside a probationer’s home jurisdiction.
  • Limits supervisors’ ability to enforce curfews or geographic restrictions for qualifying probationers, so probation departments may need new internal policies to track “good standing” with apprenticeship programs and coordinate cross‑jurisdictional travel.
  • Potential administrative impacts include verification of apprenticeship enrollment/status and possible inter‑jurisdictional communication.
  • The bill does not specify an effective date or additional implementation details; those would follow standard enactment procedures unless otherwise provided.

Procedural notes

  • Bill was introduced in early February 2025 and advanced to a Senate Engrossed form. Tracking entries in the provided materials include mixed dates and actions; the most recent listed status is Rule 3‑9(a) / Re‑referred to Assignments (4/11/2025).
  • Companion House bills (HB 2402, HB 1465) may follow parallel procedures.
