Summary
The bill would force judges to order at least a 30‑day inpatient treatment program for people convicted of a second or later public intoxication offense, and it would set the same minimum stay for anyone involuntarily committed for alcohol or drug addiction. The individual would pay the cost if financially able. The goal is to ensure adequate treatment before a sentence is carried out.
