FL S0138

Creates the "T. Patt Maney Veterans' Treatment Intervention Act" to provide alternative sentencing and treatment options for military veterans whose criminal offenses result from posttraumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, substance use disorder, or psychological problems from combat service.

Requires courts to hold a veterans' status hearing before sentencing if a defendant alleges their offense resulted from combat-related conditions; defendants who qualify and are eligible for probation may be ordered into treatment programs with preference for programs serving combat veterans.

Establishes a pretrial veterans' treatment intervention program for felony charges (excluding certain felonies) allowing eligible combat veterans to voluntarily enter treatment instead of prosecution, with charges dismissed upon successful completion and eligible for expungement.

Creates a misdemeanor pretrial veterans' treatment intervention program for military veterans charged with misdemeanors suffering from combat-related conditions, with similar treatment-based alternatives and expungement provisions.

Exempts treatment services provided by the Department of Veterans' Affairs or U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs from standard contract requirements; effective July 1, 2012.
