Allows the removal of criminal actions to a mental health court in an adjoining county and provides for the reversion to the original court of record.
New York S08762 amends the criminal procedure law to allow the removal of criminal actions to a mental health court in an adjoining county. This transfer can occur upon motion by the defendant, with consent from both the district attorney and the district attorney of the adjoining county. The receiving court must coordinate with the local governmental unit of the defendant's county of residence for treatment services. If the defendant fails to comply with or complete the mental health court program, jurisdiction reverts to the original court of record.
