This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 27-05 of the North Dakota Century Code, which establishes district court supervised treatment programs that are approved by the supreme court. The new section outlines the roles and responsibilities of various state departments in relation to these programs. Specifically, it mandates that the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation supervise offenders sentenced to supervised probation, while the Department of Health and Human Services is tasked with overseeing treatment services in accordance with established policies and best practices.

Additionally, the bill assigns the district court the responsibility of providing judicial direction, guidance, and coordination for all approved treatment and compliance-related specialized dockets. This structured approach aims to enhance the effectiveness of treatment programs by clearly defining the roles of the involved agencies and ensuring that offenders receive appropriate supervision and support during their rehabilitation process.
