H.B. 1437: A Bill Relating to the Treatment of Nonviolent Drug Offenders

Sponsored By: Reps. Crawford, Foley, and Turner

This bill requires creation of a controlled substance rehabilitation program, which requires an individual who pleads guilty to or is convicted of a nonviolent crime that involves controlled substances to complete a controlled substance rehabilitative program instead of incarceration. The bill provides that a controlled substance rehabilitative program may be operated by a community corrections advisory board, a certified drug court, or a court alcohol and drug services program. The bill also requires the department of correction to determine the average daily cost of incarceration and the anticipated future costs of incarceration. The bill requires each county sheriff to provide the department of correction with the average daily cost of incarceration in a county jail. In addition, the bill repeals provisions concerning treatment, continuance of prosecution, and probation after felony charges and convictions of certain offenders.
