The bill allows circuit courts to implement drug-court treatment programs. The courts will also include additional harm-reduction services and allow a state’s attorney to file motions to vacate and expunge convictions and records to people who successfully complete these programs. Provides that a person is ineligible for a drug court, veterans and servicemembers court, or mental health court program if the person has been convicted of home invasion, aggravated vehicular hijacking, or aggravated driving under the influence that resulted in the death of another person or when the violation was a proximate cause of the death. Provides that the court shall consider the least restrictive treatment option when ordering mental health or substance use disorder treatment for participants and the results of clinical and risk assessments in accordance with the Illinois Supreme Court Problem-Solving Court Standards. Repeals a provision concerning the mental health court in Kane County.
