Bill > SB1339

This bill expresses the California Legislature's intent to create new laws that will improve existing "diversion" programs, which are currently defined as a way to delay or permanently stop the prosecution of a misdemeanor offense at any stage of the legal process after charges have been filed, unless specific exceptions apply. Under current law, if a person successfully completes their diversion program, the criminal charges against them are dismissed. The proposed legislation aims to ensure that these strengthened diversion programs will effectively protect the public, provide support for victims, and hold individuals accountable for their criminal actions.
