AI Summary
This bill creates a 3-year pilot program to implement alternatives to incarceration and strengthen pretrial and post-trial options for prosecutors and judges responding to certain operating under the influence of alcohol or drug offenses. The pilot program will be a competitive grant process for a county sheriff department to establish a 24/7 sobriety program, which will allow courts to condition bond, pre-trial release, suspended sentences, or probation upon participation in the program. The program will involve regularly testing participants for the presence and level of alcohol or controlled substances in their sweat, blood, breath, or urine. The executive office of public safety and security, in consultation with relevant stakeholders, will develop rules and regulations for the pilot program, including user fees and a data management plan.
