Under existing law, the presiding judge of a judicial circuit, with the approval of the district attorney, may establish a drug court where drug offenders may receive treatment in addition to, or in place of, conventional incarceration. This bill would change the name of "drug courts" to "accountability courts" and would expand the scope of whom the court would serve to include offenders with mental illness and offenders who are veterans. This bill would also require the Administrative Office of the Courts to adopt policies and procedures relating to the use and implementation of accountability courts.
