SB1436 Summary

• Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-719 to expand the list of offenses requiring lifetime injunctions prohibiting defendant contact with victims at sentencing.

• Adds three new felony offense categories to the injunction requirement: felony offenses under section 13-1204(b), section 13-1424, and section 13-2923.

• Allows victims to petition the court for a lifetime injunction after sentencing if they did not request one at the time of sentencing or if sentencing occurred before September 24, 2022, with no filing fee required.

• Establishes that lifetime injunctions issued under this section do not expire and remain valid for the defendant's natural lifetime unless the victim dies, the conviction is dismissed/expunged/overturned, or the victim requests early expiration in writing.

• Specifies that setting aside or sealing a conviction does not invalidate a previously issued lifetime injunction or prevent victims from petitioning for a new injunction.
