crimes against children; probation; monitoring

SB 1402 adds a specific requirement for individuals convicted of "dangerous crimes against children" (as defined in Arizona law) who must register as a level 3 offender. It mandates that courts require GPS or electronic monitoring for the entire probation period for these offenders, rather than allowing standard probation terms. The bill also permits courts to charge a fee to cover the monitoring costs, which would be deposited into the adult probation services fund. This provision directly affects convicted offenders classified as level 3 sex offenders for child-related crimes who are placed on probation. The law does not change standard probation lengths but adds this monitoring requirement for a specific category of offenders.
