AI Summary

  • Allows the Arizona Department of Corrections to grant a one-time extension of up to 90 additional days for eligible inmates to continue receiving transition services, bringing the potential total to 180 days.

  • The extension requires the contracted service provider to evaluate the inmate using an empirically validated, peer-reviewed instrument to assess recidivism risk and identify primary criminogenic factors.

  • The contracted entity must submit an updated individualized service plan to the department before an extension can be granted.

  • The extension is only available when the department determines an inmate needs additional treatment or intervention to adequately address their specific criminogenic needs.

  • Makes minor technical wording changes, replacing "up to" with "not more than" when describing the initial 90-day transition period.
