AZ HB2289

Restructures sentencing categories for repetitive offenders by creating a new "category one repetitive offender" designation for individuals convicted of multiple felony offenses not committed on the same occasion, sentenced as first-time felony offender for first offense, category one for second offense, and category two for third and subsequent offenses.

Maintains existing category two and three repetitive offender classifications based on historical prior felony convictions: category two for those with one prior felony conviction, and category three for those with two or more prior felony convictions.

Revises sentencing ranges for all three repetitive offender categories across felony classes 2-6, with specific presumptive, mitigated, and aggravated sentence terms for each classification.

Requires at least two aggravating or mitigating circumstances to impose mitigated or aggravated sentences for category one repetitive offenders, consistent with existing requirements for categories two and three.

Modifies section 13-708 regarding offenses committed while on release to clarify that sentences imposed under subsections A, B, or C shall be consecutive to other sentences and revoke the convicted person's release, except when the prior sentence was imposed by a jurisdiction outside Arizona.
