Bill overview
This bill allows juveniles to be admitted to drug court programs under specific circumstances. It applies to young people who have been adjudicated delinquent and are subject to incarceration or a mandatory minimum period of parole ineligibility. The court must find evidence of a substance use disorder and that treatment would benefit the individual, and the program can involve residential or nonresidential treatment options. It also outlines conditions for special probation, including monitoring and potential incarceration if violations occur.
