AI Summary

This bill creates a 3-year pilot program to implement alternatives to incarceration and strengthen pretrial and post-trial options for responding to certain operating under the influence (OUI) of alcohol or drug offenses. The program will be administered by a county sheriff department and will allow courts to condition bond, pretrial release, suspended sentences, or probation on participation in a 24/7 sobriety program that tests individuals for the presence and level of alcohol or controlled substances in their blood, breath, or urine at least twice a day. The executive office of public safety and security, in consultation with other state entities, will develop the program's criteria, rules, and regulations, including provisions for user fees and data management.
