Drug diversion programs.

Existing law allows individuals charged with specified crimes, including drug offenses, to qualify for deferred entry of judgment, known as diversion. Existing law requires every county drug program administrator, in consultation with representatives of the court and the county probation department, to establish minimum requirements, criteria, and fees for the successful completion of drug diversion programs, including a minimum of 20 hours of education, counseling, or any combination of both for each divertee, as specified. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
