Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend and reenact subdivision i of subsection 1 of section 12.1-32-02, sections 15.1-19-13 and 19-03.1-23, subsection 6 of section 19-03.4-03, subsection 17 of section 27-20.2-01, subsection 26 of section 27-20.4-01, subdivision c of subsection 4 of section 27-20.4-17, subsection 4 of section 27-20.4-26, subsection 5 of section 29-26-22, section 39-06-36.1, subsection 9 of section 39-06.1-11, subdivision f of subsection 5 of section 39-08-01, and sections 39-08-01.5 and 54-12-27.1 of the North Dakota Century Code relating to changing drug court to treatment court.

AI Summary

This bill aims to replace all references to "drug court" with "treatment court" across multiple sections of the North Dakota Century Code. The bill updates terminology in various legal contexts, including juvenile justice, criminal sentencing, and driver's license regulations, to reflect a more comprehensive approach to addressing substance use disorders. The changes apply to definitions, court-supervised treatment programs, and legal provisions related to sentencing and rehabilitation. Treatment courts are defined as district court-supervised programs approved by the supreme court that combine judicial oversight with alcohol and drug testing and substance use disorder treatment in a licensed treatment program. The bill maintains the core intent of the existing laws while updating the language to be more inclusive and less stigmatizing. Key provisions include allowing courts to suspend sentences for participants who successfully complete treatment court programs, providing options for license restoration, and creating pathways for potential case dismissal or reduced sentencing upon successful program completion. The changes are intended to emphasize rehabilitation and support for individuals struggling with substance use disorders rather than purely punitive approaches.
