Allows courts to impose lesser sentences for military members and veterans with mental health conditions.

Arizona SB1275 amends the state's sentencing laws to allow courts to impose a lesser term of imprisonment or suspend the sentence for military members and veterans diagnosed with certain mental health conditions. This applies if the court finds that a mandatory term of imprisonment would be unjust, unnecessary for public protection, and related to the defendant's military service. The bill excludes certain serious offenses from this discretion.
