PUBLIC SAFETY, HUMAN DIGNITY, AND SUCCESSFUL REHAbilitation
AZRSOL Legislative Goals
At Arizonans for Rational Sex Offense Laws, we believe that the legislative landscape surrounding sexual offense registries must evolve with the evidence. Over the past three decades, these registries have strayed from their original intent, capturing individuals who pose no threat to public safety. According to all the data, more than 95% will never reoffend. Studies increasingly show that the expansion of these registries does not enhance safety, but rather harms communities and families. Our goal is to advocate for legislative changes that reduce unnecessary harm while still honoring victims. Join us in making a difference for a safer and more just society.

AZRSOL OPPOSES THESE BILLS IN 2026
SB1092 has been signed into law.
This new law strips courts of discretion, banning judges from terminating probation early than was sentenced for anyone convicted of a DCAC after January 1, 2027.
HB2870
HB 2870 would ban people on probation from living in the same home if their risk level, which is a highly subjective measure, is assessed at a level 2 or level 3.
While framed as a safety measure, HB2870 would have a devastating and counterproductive impact on one of the most fragile parts of our system: transitional housing for people o
HB 2870 would ban people on probation from living in the same home if their risk level, which is a highly subjective measure, is assessed at a level 2 or level 3.
While framed as a safety measure, HB2870 would have a devastating and counterproductive impact on one of the most fragile parts of our system: transitional housing for people on probation or parole.
Stable housing is one of the strongest predictors of compliance, treatment participation, and successful reentry. Policies that make lawful housing unattainable undermine community safety and strain public resources.
These shared housing models are often the only viable placements available—and eliminating them will push even more people into homelessness, instability, and technical violations.
SB1709
SB1709
Anyone convicted of a DCAC who commits an additional offense or violates a condition of probation shall be immediately rearrested and probation shall be revoked.
This bill includes any “additional offense,” even a minor offese.
Violations of probation can include technical violations, like missed appointments, falling behind on probation
Anyone convicted of a DCAC who commits an additional offense or violates a condition of probation shall be immediately rearrested and probation shall be revoked.
This bill includes any “additional offense,” even a minor offese.
Violations of probation can include technical violations, like missed appointments, falling behind on probation fees, or failing to get written permission for certain activities.
Judges can already revoke probation and do so liberally when the interests of public safety are on the line.
This bill removes the judicial review process and mandates extremely harsh punishments that may be unwarranted.
