Concerning the development of a juvenile special sex offender disposition alternative treatment court.

Summary

  • Authorizes a juvenile court to operate a treatment court for first-time offenders who are 15 years old or younger and qualify for a special sex offender disposition alternative (SSODA) .
  • Requires the offender to agree to a finding of guilt and standard range disposition if they fail to qualify for treatment court or are terminated from treatment court for non-compliance with court-imposed conditions.
  • Defers entry of a disposition order and waives sex offender registration while waiting for treatment court admission and while participating in treatment court.
  • Vacates the conviction, dismisses the charges with prejudice, and waives sex offender registration when the offender successfully completes all SSODA treatment court requirements.
