SB 22-010
signedPretrial Diversion For Person With Behavioral Health
Plain-English Summary
AI-generatedSenate Bill 22-010 in Colorado updates the pretrial diversion program by adding new options for people with behavioral health issues. Instead of going through the criminal justice system, these individuals can be directed towards community treatment programs that address their specific needs. This change replaces older pilot programs that were set to end and helps more people get the mental health support they need before facing court proceedings. The bill has been signed into law, meaning it is now active and being implemented.
Official Summary
The act expands the existing pretrial diversion program to include diversion programs that are intended to identify eligible individuals with behavioral health disorders and divert such individuals out of the criminal justice system and into community treatment programs. This expansion replaces the alternative pilot programs to divert individuals with mental health conditions that are set to repeal July 1, 2022.
