What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Justice awards grants to counties to

provide alternatives to prosecution and incarceration for criminal offenders who

abuse alcohol or other drugs. This bill provides moneys from general purpose

revenue in each fiscal year in amounts specified in the bill to increase the amount

spent for grants to counties operating treatment and diversion programs, to expand

the grant program to more counties, and, subject to approval of the Joint Committee

on Finance, to create a pilot program to divert certain persons to treatment options

instead of the criminal justice system.
