Bill > S2723

This bill, called the Treatment Court, Rehabilitation, and Recovery Act of 2025, amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act to establish a comprehensive Treatment Court Discretionary Grant Program. The bill authorizes the Attorney General to provide grants to states, courts, local governments, and tribal governments to establish or enhance various types of treatment courts, including juvenile drug treatment courts, family treatment courts, tribal healing to wellness courts, impaired driving courts, and adult drug treatment courts. These courts aim to provide alternative rehabilitation approaches for individuals with substance use disorders or mental health issues. The bill sets strict eligibility criteria for participants, excluding those charged with serious violent or sexual offenses, and requires comprehensive treatment programs that include evidence-based clinical assessments, individualized treatment plans, case management, and support services. Grant recipients must ensure non-discrimination, provide adequate legal protections, and use licensed treatment providers. The federal government will cover up to 75% of program costs, with a focus on equitable geographic distribution and continuous monitoring of program effectiveness. The bill also mandates a national evaluation of treatment courts within three years and authorizes $100 million annually from 2024 to 2028 to support technical assistance, training, and program evaluation.
