The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code regarding the expansion and definition of drug courts.  The bill could result in reduced prison and state jail populations depending on the number of offenders that are diverted from prison or state jail as a result of participating in drug court programs. 

No significant impact on the programs and workload of state corrections agencies or on the demand for resources and services of those agencies is anticipated from any provisions of this bill that authorize or require a change in the sanctions applicable to adults convicted of felony crimes.
