mandatory prison sentences; judicial discretion

Summary

The bill lets each county attorney set up a diversion program for veterans or active service members who have mental‑health conditions tied to their military service. Defendants can be diverted from prosecution before a plea or trial, and the charge may be dismissed if they complete the program. Certain serious offenses, such as homicide, domestic violence, or ongoing criminal enterprises, are excluded.
