Use of program as disciplinary sanction
Official statutory text
The drug court program may be utilized as a disciplinary
sanction for a violation of a condition of parole related to
substance abuse for eligible offenses, or in a case where the
offender has been tried for an eligible offense in the traditional
manner, given either a deferred or suspended sentence, and has
violated a condition of the sentence. The judge shall not order an
offender into treatment within the scope of any drug court program
without prior approval from both the district attorney and the
defense attorney or offender. If both the district attorney and the
defense attorney or offender agree, the case may be transferred to
the drug court program with the approval of the presiding drug court
judge. After a case has been transferred to the drug court docket,
it shall continue with the designated drug court judge until the
offender is revoked or released from the program. The offenders
whose cases have been transferred from a traditional criminal case
docket to the drug court docket shall be required to have a drug
court investigation and complete the drug court process prior to
placement in any treatment program authorized by Section 471 et seq.
