CA AB2106

Court shall order drug treatment program or drug education for defendants charged with controlled substance offenses and granted probation, if an appropriate program with capacity has been identified by the probation officer.

Court may revoke probation if defendant willfully fails to comply with ordered treatment program or education, and may impose a new grant of probation upon such determination.

Court must assess defendant's ability to pay for treatment programs and establish a sliding fee schedule based on financial capacity; persons meeting criteria in Government Code Section 68632 are exempt from costs.

"Drug treatment program" includes state-licensed or state-certified community programs offering drug education, outpatient services, narcotic replacement therapy, residential treatment, detoxification services, and aftercare services.

If Commission on State Mandates determines the bill creates state-mandated costs, reimbursement to local agencies shall be made pursuant to Government Code Part 7.
