Municipal Veterans Treatment Court; authorize in municipalities that have a municipal drug court.

Summary

The bill lets a municipal court judge establish a Veterans Treatment Court in any city that already operates a municipal drug court. Eligible veteran defendants could opt into this specialized program instead of traditional sentencing, provided the state attorney agrees and the defendant meets defined criteria. It aims to give veterans with substance‑abuse or mental‑health issues a treatment‑focused alternative while protecting public safety.
