What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Justice, in collaboration with the

Department of Corrections and the Department of Health Services, awards grants

to counties and tribes that have established qualifying treatment alternatives and

diversion (TAD) programs that offer alcohol or drug treatment services as

alternatives to prosecution or incarceration in order to reduce recidivism, promote

public safety, and reduce prison and jail populations.

Under the bill, a program funded by a TAD grant need not focus solely on alcohol

and other drug treatment, but may provide treatment programs for a person who has

any mental illness.
