What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Justice (DOJ) provides grants to counties

that have established qualifying treatment and diversion (TAD) programs for

persons who are or may be charged with, or who are convicted of, an offense related

to the person's use or abuse of alcohol or other drugs. TAD programs are intended

to offer alternatives to prosecution or incarceration. Current law requires DOJ to

evaluate the grant program every two years.

This bill increases funding for TAD grants by $1,500,000 in each fiscal year of

the current fiscal biennium. The bill requires each county that receives a TAD grant

to submit to DOJ data requested by DOJ for the purpose of evaluating the

effectiveness of the county's TAD program. The bill requires DOJ to prepare an

annual progress report using that data and, every five years, to prepare a

comprehensive report for submission to the legislature that provides a cost benefit

analysis of the TAD grant program.
