Authorizes courts to conditionally discharge certain criminal defendants, suspending criminal proceedings and imposing conditions.
The bill allows a court to conditionally discharge a defendant, suspending all pending criminal proceedings for up to a specified period. During this time, the defendant must refrain from criminal conduct and abide by conditions set by the court, similar to probation conditions. A defendant is eligible if they have not been previously convicted of certain serious crimes, are charged with specific drug or other crimes, and consent to the conditional discharge.
