AI Summary

This bill creates a new mental health sentencing alternative for defendants who are convicted of a felony that is not a serious violent or sex offense, diagnosed with a serious mental illness, and determined to benefit from supervision and treatment. The court may impose a term of community custody between 12 and 24 months or 12 and 36 months, depending on the defendant's standard sentencing range. The Department of Corrections will provide a community corrections officer with mental health training to supervise the defendant's treatment and compliance. The court can hold progress hearings and may modify conditions or revoke the alternative if the defendant violates the terms. The bill also makes changes to existing law to incorporate this new sentencing alternative.
