Second Chance Program.

Summary

The bill would broaden the Second Chance Program so it can award grants for mental health and behavioral health services, drug or collaborative courts, and related diversion programs. It also stops the program from requiring specific percentage splits when applying for or awarding grants. The changes aim to improve recidivism reduction for low‑level offenders with substance use or mental‑health issues.
