LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law authorizes, in addition to, and not in lieu of, the batterer’s program, and unless prohibited by the referring court, the probation department or the court to make provisions for a defendant to use his
or her resources to enroll in a chemical dependency program or to enter voluntarily a licensed chemical dependency recovery hospital or residential treatment program, as specified.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would remove the conflation of alcohol or substance abuse treatment with a batterer’s program.
