Arizona SB1295 allows the release of eligible inmates to medical institutions.

Arizona SB1295 amends Title 31, chapter 2, article 2, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding section 31-243. This bill allows the director to release inmates from custody for placement in a medical institution under contract with the state. The director establishes a process for determining preliminary baseline eligibility for release, which is separate from eligibility for the Arizona long-term care system. Eligible inmates must be at least 65 years old, blind, or have a disability, and meet other criteria.
