Allows individuals charged with certain controlled substance offenses to seek dismissal by completing a court-approved treatment program.

This bill allows individuals charged with specific controlled substance offenses to seek dismissal of those charges by completing a court-approved treatment program. The court must consider the person's criminal and substance use history, and the individual must have a substance use disorder requiring treatment. If the individual completes the recommended treatment program and files the necessary documents by the readiness hearing, the court must dismiss the charges. The filings are made under seal, and the court may also dismiss other related charges unless the prosecutor objects.
