AZ SB1077

Amends Arizona law governing contracts for private adult correctional facilities to require all requests for proposals be provided to the joint legislative budget committee for review upon publication.

Revises terminology from "proposer" to "proposing entity" and allows entities to demonstrate successful management experience through their personnel's history of operating other secure facilities, not solely their own direct experience.

Maintains existing requirements that contracts must offer cost savings, functionally equal service quality, and limits initial contract periods to 10 years with two optional 5-year renewals.

Clarifies that contractors cannot delegate state authority over inmate release date calculations, sentence credit procedures, work assignments, custody decisions, or disciplinary actions.

Official short title designated as the "Private Prison Contract Reform Act."
