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, required the State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs, now the State Department of Health Care Services, 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.
