Modifies provisions relating to court-ordered treatment

Summary

The bill would have Missouri courts offer a treatment court program for first‑time felony offenders who have a substance‑use disorder, requiring them to finish the program before entering a plea. After successful completion and payment of any program costs, the pending charges would be dismissed. It also sets rules for transferring participants between jurisdictions and allows medication‑assisted treatment.
