Arizona HB2358 prohibits the Department of Corrections from accepting revenue exceeding operating costs in inmate telephone system service contracts.
Arizona HB2358 amends the state statutes to add a new section prohibiting the Department of Corrections from entering into contracts for inmate telephone system services that allow the department to accept revenue exceeding its reasonable operating costs. The bill specifically bans contracts that permit commissions, profit sharing, percentage payments, up-front signing bonuses, inflated rent payments, or the supply of technologies unrelated to the actual telephone service. This measure aims to ensure that the services provided are cost-effective and directly related to the intended purpose.
