SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER SERVICE

Summary

This amendment changes the Substance Use Disorder Act to refer to "case management" instead of "treatment" and lets courts require designated programs to provide those services as a condition of probation or pre‑trial release. It applies to people charged with or convicted of crimes where substance use contributed to the offense, except for certain violent or specified drug offenses. A probation sentence under this provision is not treated as a conviction until a judgment is entered for a violation.
