LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1233, as introduced, Waldron. Substance abuse testing and treatment.
Existing law, as added by the Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act of 2000, adopted by voters as Proposition 36 at the November 7, 2000, statewide general election, requires that persons convicted of certain nonviolent drug possession offenses be granted probation and participate in and complete an appropriate drug treatment program as a condition of that probation.
Existing law, inoperative on July 1, 2013, requires the State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs to administer and award grants to counties, based on an approved plan, to supplement funding provided under the above-described act for the purpose of funding substance abuse testing for eligible offenders.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to one of those provisions.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
