Introduced
by
To coordinate the standardized statewide procedures and guidelines for drug treatment courts proposed by Senate Bill 998 with the provision in current law that authorizes "youthful trainee" status. (This status allows a person between the age of 17 and 20 who pleads guilty to a criminal offense, other than serious felonies, to serve a sentence, and then have the proceedings dismissed without having a criminal conviction record, and with no civil disability or loss of right or privilege.) Also, to coordinate drug court procedures with a current provision establishing that if an individual pleads guilty to a first drug offence, the court may defer further proceedings, place the person on probation and, upon fulfillment of the probation terms, dismiss the case without adjudication of guilt. The bill is part of a legislative package comprised of Senate Bills 998 to 1000 that would establish standardized statewide procedures and guidelines for drug treatment courts.
