HB 1791: Alternative sentencing

Clarifying certain community custody and drug offender sentencing alternative sentencing provisions.

Summary

  • Permits the court to order the Department of Corrections (DOC) to complete a risk assessment report and/or a chemical dependency screening report to assist it in making a determination of whether to order a residential-based treatment alternative when a defendant is sentenced to the Drug Offender Sentencing Alternative (DOSA).
  • Permits the court to order the DOC to conduct an examination of the offender if the Court is considering imposing the residential treatment-based alternative.
  • Requires the residential treatment program to send a copy of the offender's treatment plan to the court within 30 days of the offender's arrival at the program if the court orders residential-based treatment.
  • Creates new and separate sections in Chapter 9.94A regarding prison-based and residential-based treatment.
