Veterans: probation: restorative relief.

Existing law requires a criminal court to make a determination as to whether a defendant who was a member of the United States military may be suffering from sexual trauma, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, or mental health problems as a result of the person's service. Existing law allows the court to consider these circumstances in granting probation, referring the defendant to mental health treatment, and granting restorative relief, as provided. This bill would additionally require the court to make a determination as to whether a defendant who was a member of the United States military may be suffering from severe depression as a result of the person's service for these purposes.
