CA AB3025

Adds "severe depression" to the list of military service-related conditions (including sexual trauma, traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and substance abuse) that courts must consider when determining probation eligibility for veteran defendants.

Requires courts to make a formal determination of whether a defendant was a military member and whether they may be suffering from severe depression or other specified service-related conditions prior to sentencing.

Allows courts to consider these military service-related conditions as a factor favoring probation and to order defendants into treatment programs for up to the length of their potential prison or jail sentence.

Establishes restorative relief provisions allowing courts to dismiss charges, reduce felonies to misdemeanors, or terminate probation early for veterans who successfully comply with probation and complete court-ordered treatment.

Specifies that restorative relief does not apply to certain sexual offenses and sex offender registration requirements, and that dismissed convictions may still be used in future prosecutions and for administrative driving privilege suspensions.
