Allows the removal of criminal actions to a mental health court in an adjoining county.
New York S08312 amends the criminal procedure law to allow the removal of criminal actions to a mental health court in an adjoining county. This applies to counties outside cities with a population of one million or more. The removal can occur upon motion by the defendant and with the consent of the district attorney and the adjoining county's district attorney. The mental health court must notify the original court and the involved parties within five days of the order. The removal cannot proceed if the mental health court declines to accept the case.
