permit a court to impose as a condition of probation, or parole in certain circumstances, treatment at a nonprofit entity awarded an alternative care program grant.

Summary

HB 1140 changes state law so a judge can order a person on probation, a suspended sentence, or parole to complete treatment at a nonprofit that has received an alternative care program grant. The order is only valid if the defendant agrees, the program has space, and the application is approved before sentencing. The measure also adds other options such as fines, community service, drug‑court or mental‑health programs, and updates DUI license‑revocation rules to allow limited driving after treatment.
