Relating to approved court-ordered alcohol awareness programs.

HB 3442 requires Texas courts to mandate completion of approved alcohol awareness programs for minors convicted of certain alcohol-related offenses. It specifies three approved program types: state-regulated alcohol awareness courses (under Chapter 171, Government Code), substance misuse education programs (under Transportation Code), or any six-hour court-approved program. First-time offenders must complete such programs, while courts may require them for repeat offenders. The bill amends existing laws to clarify program requirements and court authority during deferred disposition periods.
