The bill repeals the adult deferred prosecution sentencing option and replaces it with an adult diversion program. A defendant and district attorney may enter into a diversion agreement for up to 2 years prior to proceeding with the criminal case against the defendant. During the period of the diversion the defendant is subject to the supervisory conditions of the diversion agreement. If the defendant successfully completes the diversion period, the court shall dismiss with prejudice the charges against the defendant. If the defendant violates a condition of the diversion agreement, the prosecution may initiate revocation of diversion agreement proceedings against the defendant.
The bill makes conforming amendments.
