AI Summary

  • Amends the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act to modify the timeline for filing motions to vacate judgments of conviction after successful completion of probation.

  • Changes the filing deadline from "within 30 days of" entry of judgment to "at any time from the date of" entry of judgment to a date not more than 60 days after discharge from probation.

  • Applies to individuals who have not previously been convicted of any felony offense and have not previously been granted a vacation of judgment under this Section.

  • Court shall vacate the judgment and dismiss criminal proceedings upon successful fulfillment of probation terms, unless the court finds good cause not to grant the motion based on the nature of the offense and the individual's history and character.

  • Courts may still refuse to vacate judgments if they determine no significant relationship exists between addiction and the crime committed, or if imprisonment is necessary for public protection.
