Bill > AB2692

This bill proposes to amend the existing law on criminal procedure diversion programs in California. Specifically, it would make changes to the criteria for determining eligibility for diversion, which allows certain offenders to avoid prosecution and have their charges dismissed if they successfully complete a treatment program. The bill would expand the types of mental health disorders that can qualify an individual for diversion, and it would also modify the requirements for mental health evaluations and treatment plans. These changes are intended to provide more opportunities for defendants with mental health issues to access diversion programs and potentially avoid the consequences of a criminal conviction.
