1. Alternatives to incarceration grant program
Current law requires that DOJ make grants to counties and to tribes to enable them to establish and operate programs, including suspended and deferred prosecution programs and programs based on principles of restorative justice, that provide alternatives to prosecution and incarceration for criminal offenders who abuse alcohol or other drugs. This bill expands the grant program by creating an appropriation to provide grant funds to counties that are not yet a recipient of a grant under the program on the effective date of this bill.
