AI Summary

This bill amends the Michigan Court Code to modify the termination procedure for drug treatment courts. It outlines the requirements for individuals to continue participating in and successfully complete a drug treatment court program, such as paying all court-ordered fines, costs, restitution, and crime victim assessments, as well as complying with all court orders. The bill also provides that if a participant is convicted of a felony committed after entering the program, the judge must terminate the participant's participation, unless the judge decides to continue the participant in consultation with the treatment team and the prosecuting attorney. The bill allows the court to waive or reduce the payment of fines, fees, or treatment costs if it determines that would be a substantial hardship for the individual or interfere with their substance abuse treatment.
