AB 1474: Misdemeanor offenses: pretrial diversion program.
- Session Year: 2017-2018
- House: Assembly
- Latest Version Date: 2017-02-17
Existing law authorizes a county to establish a pretrial diversion program for defendants who have been charged with a misdemeanor offense. Existing law defines pretrial diversion, for these purposes, to mean the procedure of postponing prosecution either temporarily or permanently at any point in the judicial process from the point at which the accused is charged until adjudication.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this provision.
(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of law, this chapter shall become operative in a county only if the board of supervisors adopts the provisions of this chapter by ordinance.
(b)The district attorney of each county shall review annually any diversion program established pursuant to this chapter, and no the program shall not continue without the approval of the district attorney. No A person shall not be diverted under a program unless it has been approved by the district attorney. Nothing in this This subdivision shall does not authorize the prosecutor to determine whether a particular defendant shall be diverted.
(c)As used in this chapter, pretrial diversion means the procedure of postponing prosecution either temporarily or permanently at any point in the judicial process from the point at which the accused is charged until adjudication.
