Full Text of A.R.S. § 13-923
A.R.S. § 13-923 is the Arizona statute on persons convicted of sexual offenses. It sets out procedure and rules rather than defining an offense, so no offense class or sentence attaches to this section on its own.
A. If requested by the probationer, the court shall conduct a probation hearing at least once a year for a probationer who is under twenty-two years of age and who was convicted of an offense that occurred when the person was under eighteen years of age and that requires the probationer to register pursuant to section 13-3821.
B. This section does not preclude the court from conducting more than one probation review hearing each year.
C. The probation department that is supervising the probationer shall prepare a probation report and submit the report to the court prior to the hearing.
D. The following individuals shall be notified of the hearing:
1. A prosecutor.
2. An attorney for the probationer.
3. Any victim or victim’s attorney who has a right to be present and heard pursuant to the victims’ bill of rights, article II, section 2.1 of the constitution of this state, title 13, chapter 40 or court rule.
4. The probation officer supervising the probationer.
E. At the hearing, after hearing from those present pursuant to subsection D of this section, the court shall consider the following:
1. Whether to continue, modify or terminate probation.
2. Whether to continue to require, to suspend or to terminate the probationer’s registration pursuant to section 13-3821.
3. Whether to continue, defer or terminate community notification pursuant to section 13-3825.
F. The court may hold a prehearing involving the persons listed in subsection D of this section to discuss and advise the court concerning the issues listed in subsection E of this section.

How § 13-923 Affects an Arizona Case
§ 13-923 usually matters because of how it interacts with the charge someone is actually facing. We read it alongside the charging statute, because a definition or a procedural rule frequently decides what the State must prove, what a judge may impose, or what relief is available afterward.
