AZ HB2313

Establishes a new $9 penalty assessment on criminal fines and traffic violations, with 62.4% going to the victims' rights fund and 37.6% to the victim compensation and assistance fund.

Changes court authority to "mitigate" (rather than "waive") surcharges and fines, allowing judges to reduce mandatory fine surcharges if payment would cause hardship and to reduce discretionary fines based on factors including financial hardship, government benefits receipt, and medical condition.

Allows judges to order community restitution in lieu of monetary obligations in municipal and justice courts when defendants cannot pay, credited at $10 per hour, with exceptions for certain assessments.

Permits revocation of probation, parole, or community supervision for willful failure to pay fines, surcharges, fees, assessments, restitution, or incarceration costs, and maintains criminal restitution orders until paid in full with interest accruing at different rates for victim collections versus state collections.

Adjusts criminal justice enhancement fund distributions by reducing percentages to various law enforcement and criminal justice agencies to accommodate new funding for victims' rights and victim compensation programs.
