AZ HB2379

Amends statutes governing home detention and continuous alcohol monitoring programs for DUI offenders in cities, counties, and sheriff departments across Arizona.

Requires persons sentenced under DUI statutes (A.R.S. § 28-1381 or 28-1382) to serve a minimum of 20 percent of their initial court-ordered jail term before being eligible for home detention or continuous alcohol monitoring programs.

Clarifies that the "initial term of incarceration" means the original jail sentence ordered by the court, not any additional time resulting from violation of release conditions.

Specifies that prisoners placed on home detention must undergo daily testing for alcohol and drugs, participate in accredited alcohol or substance abuse programs, comply with electronic monitoring, and meet other eligibility and compliance requirements.

Allows courts to terminate home detention or monitoring programs if prisoners fail to complete required treatment programs or leave their premises without authorization.
