Bill Summary

For legislation to include veterans with post-traumatic stress in eligibility for certain pre-trial diversion programs. Veterans and Federal Affairs.

AI Summary

This bill aims to expand the eligibility for certain pre-trial diversion programs to include veterans with post-traumatic stress. Specifically, it proposes to amend the existing law by inserting the phrase "post-traumatic stress" after the words "substance abuse disorder" in the language defining the eligibility criteria for these programs. This change would allow veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress to access these diversion programs, which provide an alternative to traditional criminal proceedings for certain offenses.
