NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 306 of Title 22, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows: Sections 1 through 11 of this act shall be known and may be cited as the "Oklahoma Drug Court Act". For purposes of this act, Req. No Page 2
3 "Drug Court" means a judicial intervention process for drug treatment of eligible juvenile or adult offenders which expedites the criminal case, and, upon successful completion of the drug treatment, diverts offenders from incarceration or further court proceedings. SECTION 2. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section of Title 22, unless there A. Drug Court administrators, officials, and staff shall have sufficient understanding of drug abuse to recognize that: 1. Drug abuse is a serious, debilitating disorder; 2. Relapse and intermittent progress are part of the rehabilitation process; 3. Drug addicts cannot be rehabilitated in a short period of time; and 4. A drug user is most vulnerable to successful intervention when he or she is in crises, such as after initial arrest and incarceration. B. A Drug Court shall require a separate judicial processing system differing in practice and design from the traditional criminal prosecution and trial systems. Whenever possible, the court shall designate one or more judges to administer the Drug Court, who shall have appropriate training and understanding of the goals of the program and of the drug offender's behaviors and attitudes. Once an offender has been ordered to Drug Court, a single judge shall handle the case to completion. Every district court in this state may implement a Drug Court pursuant to the provisions of this act. Req. No Page 3
4 SECTION 3. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section of Title 22, unless there A. Each Drug Court established within the district court shall require the following parameters to ensure acceptable design and implementation standards are achieved: 1. UNIFIED DRUG COURT. The purposes of the unified drug court are to have a program with a single focus which will facilitate coordination and cooperation between agencies and judicial functions; to have consistency in judicial, prosecutorial and defense decision-making and implementation processes; to have sufficient numbers of drug abuse offenders in the courtroom to encourage learning through the incentives and sanctions imposed on other offenders; to develop specialization and expertise in staff; and to maintain responsibility for the program in one judge within each district court. a. The chief judge of the district court shall assign at least one judge and a single staff to provide leadership and focus to the Drug Court program established in the district. The assigned judge and staff shall handle all cases in the jurisdiction referred for drug rehabilitation. This requirement shall not preclude the Drug Court judge or staff from performing other judicial functions or work of the district court, nor shall it mandate the assignment of all drug cases in the jurisdiction to the Drug Court, nor shall it preclude the Drug Court from handling any nonviolent case where the controlling offense is other than a drug offense, provided the offender is a drug user. Req. No Page 4
5 b. The district attorney shall assign a single assistant district attorney to the Drug Court established in the district court. The assigned district attorney shall handle all prosecutorial functions within the Drug Court of the district court. c. The Indigent Defense System shall assign a single public defender to the Drug Court established in the district court. The assigned public defender shall handle all defense responsibilities within the Drug Court of the district court. d. The Department of Corrections shall assign at least one supervising officer to the Drug Court established in the district court. The supervising officer shall handle all supervision requirements of the Drug Court. e. The Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services shall provide for the initial screening of offenders upon request of the county sheriff through the use of a standardized screening test and interview which shall be designed to screen for drug use, history of substance abuse, literacy, and biographical information. f. The Drug Court judge, district attorney, public defender, supervising correctional officer, and staff shall be assigned to the Drug Court for a minimal term of one (1) year, and preferably for a term of two (2) years; 2. IMMEDIATE AND UP FRONT INTERVENTION. The initial opportunity for Drug Court intervention shall occur within three (3) days after arrest and incarceration in the county jail, or, if an immediate bond release program is available through the jail, the Req. No Page 5
6 initial opportunity for Drug Court intervention shall occur in conjunction with that bond release program. The following criteria are required: a. at least seventy-five percent (75%) of all participants shall be court-ordered to treatment and supervision within one (1) week from the date of bond release or arrest, b. the offender shall be ordered to appear at the first progress report hearing within one (1) month after placement in treatment, and c. the program shall require at least three contacts per week with the supervising correctional officer and treatment provider during the first month of the program; 3. COORDINATED COMPREHENSIVE SUPERVISION. Supervision provided for Drug Court by the assigned correctional officer must take place during times when the offender is not participating in actual treatment to ensure offender accountability and assist in achieving sobriety and attitudinal changes in the offender. The following criteria are required: a. drug testing at least once per week during the first three (3) months of the program, b. supervision contact on a weekly basis by the treatment provider and the correctional officer, c. program reports shall be made at least every month for the first three (3) months of the program, and d. immediate response to program failures; 4. LONG-TERM TREATMENT AND AFTERCARE. Drug addiction requires long-term treatment. The initial screening conducted through the standardized screening test and interview shall determine whether or Req. No Page 6
7 not Drug Court is appropriate for the offender. A more comprehensive assessment shall take place at the time the offender enters the treatment program and may take place at any time after placement in the program. This assessment shall determine the appropriateness of the treatment plan which shall be required to be followed for each participant. Whenever possible, treatment may begin in a medically supervised jail detoxification unit. Residential treatment shall be reserved for special cases that are either not responding to outpatient treatment or cases that require medical attention. All participating treatment programs shall be selected and evaluated for effectiveness annually by the Departme nt of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and by the Department of Corrections. The following program components are required: a. treatment shall be provided for a minimum of six (6) months and the maximum treatment shall be for two (2) years, b. there shall be a minimum of one treatment session per week during the first six (6) months, and c. each treatment provider shall develop a referral system for the participant's use in accessing community-based social services, or the provider shall establish aftercare programs to include drug treatment and counseling, as well as, opportunities for education, job training, job placement assistance, or health and housing assistance; and 5. PROGRESSIVE SANCTIONS AND INCENTIVES. Relapse and intermittent progress are recognized and dealt with by progressive sanctions and incentives ordered by the Drug Court judge. There shall be immediate and direct consequences for program misconduct. The judge shall apply a flexible, patient approach to monitoring Req. No Page 7
8 program compliance and may use dismissal of charges, reduction in fines, and other incentives to encourage program completion. Drug usage or failure to participate in the treatment program shall require changes in supervision, treatment, drug testing, or limited incarceration not to exceed two (2) days in the county jail. All sanctions and incentives shall be appropriately applied in response to program success or failure and shall be applied incrementally to move the offender steadily toward sobriety. SECTION 4. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section of Title 22, unless there A. No person shall participate in Drug Court without a referral as provided by the provisions of this act. The eligibility criteria for a referral to Drug Court shall be established by rules promulgated by the Drug Court of the district court, and shall not require the controlling offense to be a drug offense. The Drug Court may be highly selective in the initial scope of eligible offenses and conditions for referral. No person with a controlling violent offense or any pending charge for a violent offense shall be eligible for referral or participation in the program. Any offender having once entered the program who is subsequently arrested for a violent offense shall be terminated from the program. B. For purposes of Drug Court, "violent offense" means any felony offense where physical force or a weapon is used against any victim, or any sex offense where the victim is a child. SECTION 5. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section of Title 22, unless there Req. No Page 8
9 A. The treatment components used in all Drug Court programs shall be designed as a reality-based drug rehabilitation system and shall include: 1. Frequent drug testing; 2. Court monitoring; 3. Intensive supervision; 4. Drug counseling; 5. Drug treatment; 6. Relapse prevention; 7. Educational opportunities; and 8. Use of progressive sanctions and incentives. B. The actual treatment providers selected may be existing community-based providers, or special treatment programs serving only Drug Court clients may be created. Each treatment provider shall primarily treat offenders on an outpatient basis, with limited inpatient treatment available for special detoxification or relapse situations. Every treatment provider shall be required to have relapse prevention and relapse restart components in the program. C. The requirements of Drug Court participation are more demanding of the offender than the traditional criminal process and sentencing. The offender shall be handled with a reality-based understanding of drug use by the prosecutor, public defender, supervising correctional officer, and the judge. The functions and qualifications of the judge, prosecutor, public defender, supervising correctional officer, and treatment provider require a comprehensive understanding of the physiological, psychological, and behavior realities of drug abuse. SECTION 6. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section of Title 22, unless there Req. No Page 9
10 A. At the time a person is processed into the county jail for a criminal offense which may be eligible for Drug Court proceedings, or at the time of bail or bond release, the sheriff or the Drug Court public defender shall provide information concerning Drug Court to the offender. B. If the offender expresses any interest in Drug Court, a request for screening and interview shall be made by the Drug Court public defender to the representative of the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services which has been designated to perform the Drug Court initial screening. The offender shall be screened for Drug Court suitability while in the county jail, whenever possible. If the offender has been released from jail, the initial screening test and interview may be conducted upon request of the offender prior to other court proceedings. Following the screening test and interview of any offender, the results and recommendations shall be given to both the Drug Court district attorney and the Drug Court public defender for review. C. The district attorney and the public defender shall independently review the results and recommendations of the initial screening test and interview to determine initial suitability. Both the district attorney and the public defender shall agree that the offender is suitable for Drug Court before a referral may be made to Drug Court. Once the referral has been made, the offender shall be notified when to appear for his or her Drug Court hearing. The hearing shall be held no later than one (1) week from the initial arrest or release date. D. No information obtained through the initial screening test or by the interview process shall be used for purposes of prosecution of the offender for the pending offense. Req. No Page 10
11 SECTION 7. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section of Title 22, unless there A. After a referral of the offender has been made to Drug Court by the district attorney and public defender, the judge shall conduct a hearing to determine: 1. Whether or not the offender voluntarily consents to the Drug Court requirements; and 2. Whether or not to accept the referral and order the offender to drug treatment. B. At the hearing, if evidence is presented that was not discovered by the screening test or interview process, the district attorney may make an objection and may move to withdraw the referral previously made. The court shall determine whether to proceed and overrule the objection or to sustain the objection and transfer the matter to another court. If the court accepts the referral to Drug Court, the offender shall be ordered to drug treatment. The offender shall sign the necessary court documents before the offender may be placed in any treatment program. The court documents shall include, but not be limited to, voluntarily agreeing to: 1. Waive his or her rights to speedy trial; 2. Plead guilty or nolo contendere and enter into a written prosecution agreement which sets forth the penalty to be imposed for the offense in the event of a breach of the agreement; 3. A written treatment plan which is subject to modification at any time during the treatment program; and 4. Enter the treatment program and participate until completion, withdrawal, or removal by the court. Req. No Page 11
12 C. The offender has fifteen (15) days following placement in the Drug Court program to withdraw the plea and proceed with traditional criminal prosecution and sentencing. SECTION 8. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section of Title 22, unless there A. The judge shall require progress reports for all participants in Drug Court. Reports from the treatment providers and the supervising correctional officer shall be required to be presented to the judge. The judge shall recognize relapses and restarts in the program which are considered to be part of the recovery process of drug offenders. The judge shall accomplish court monitoring and accountability by ordering progressive sanctions, rather than removing the offender from the program. B. The judge may modify a treatment plan at any progress hearing when it is determined that the treatment is not beneficial to the offender. The primary objective of the court in monitoring the progress and treatment plan is to keep offenders in treatment for a sufficient time to change behaviors and attitudes. Modification of treatment plans require consultation with the treatment provider, supervising correctional officer, district attorney, and the public defender. C. The judge may terminate and remove any offender from the Drug Court program when it is determined that the offender is not benefiting from the treatment or has committed a felony offense. Termination from Drug Court shall require a hearing. The treatment provider, the supervising correctional officer, the prosecutor, and the public defender may testify at the termination hearing. The judge shall make the final decision whether or not to terminate an Req. No Page 12
13 offender from Drug Court and impose the penalty previous agreed upon in the prosecution agreement. SECTION 9. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section of Title 22, unless there A Drug Court may be utilized in a post adjudication approach in which offenders have been tried for the offense and are given either a deferred or suspended sentence. No court other than Drug Court shall order an offender to drug treatment within the scope of the Drug Court program. Any judge having a criminal case before it, where Drug Court processing appears appropriate, may transfer the case for review to the Drug Court district attorney and Drug Court public defender. If a referral to Drug Court is recommended by the prosecution and defense and the case is accepted for referral to Drug Court by the Drug Court judge, the case shall continue in Drug Court until otherwise removed by the Drug Court judge. Any offender who is before a court on a technical violation for a condition of probation in a case which was originally not before the Drug Court may be referred in the same manner as other non-drug Court cases. Any offender whose case has been transferred from another court to Drug Court shall complete the initial screening test and interview upon order of the Drug Court judge. SECTION 10. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section of Title 22, unless there All Drug Courts shall be required to keep reliable data on recidivism, relapse, restarts, sanction and incentives. SECTION 11. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section of Title 22, unless there Req. No Page 13
