AI Summary

This bill aims to expand eligibility for diversion to treatment for criminal offenders. Specifically, it proposes to remove the age requirement and the requirement that the offender has not previously been convicted of any crime, except for traffic violations, to be eligible for diversion. This would allow more offenders to access treatment programs instead of facing traditional criminal proceedings.
