CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill
No. 1325

Introduced by Assembly Member Waldron

February 16, 2023

An act to amend Section 11999.25 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to substance abuse.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1325, 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, until July 1, 2013, required the State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs, now consolidated into 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. Existing law required a county plan to include a description of the process to be used for substance abuse testing and substance abuse treatment of probationers and parolees, as specified.
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:
