HB2558 establishes a mental health sentencing alternative for defendants with psychotic disorders.

HB2558 allows for a mental health sentencing alternative for defendants convicted of a felony, excluding serious violent offenses, sex offenses, and domestic violence offenses against an intimate partner. The defendant must have a psychotic disorder, be willing to participate in the alternative, and have no prior convictions for violent offenses within the last 10 years. The court may impose a term of community custody instead of a standard range sentence, with supervision by a community corrections officer trained in mental health.
