AI Summary
This bill establishes a new prison diversion program in Michigan, allowing prosecutors, law enforcement, and social welfare agencies to collaborate on creating a system that steers individuals suspected of possessing or using controlled substances away from criminal charges and into a supervision program before charges are even filed. This program, designed to address violations of specific sections of the public health code related to controlled substances, must include substance use disorder treatment and utilize a case management system to track each diverted case. If an individual successfully completes the program's terms, as determined by the prosecutor's office and the social welfare agency (defined as a community-based organization providing assistance to those in need), they will not face prosecution for the controlled substance violation.
