Bill > HB5482

This bill modifies the eligibility requirements for participation in drug treatment courts in Michigan. It adds a provision that allows a violent offender to be admitted to a drug treatment court if the judge and prosecuting attorney, in consultation with any known victims, consent to their admission. The bill also outlines other requirements for admission, such as the individual being dependent on or abusing drugs or alcohol, understanding the consequences of participation, and completing a preadmission screening and evaluation assessment. The bill will take effect 90 days after it is enacted into law.
