                                BILL NUMBER:S1717

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the judiciary law, in relation to requiring the chief
administrator of the courts to submit an annual report on the Drug
Treatment Court Program

PURPOSE:
This legislation would require the chief administrator of the courts
to report annually to the legislature and the governor about the
function and effectiveness of the Drug Courts Treatment Program.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
The bill amends section 212 of the judiciary law to require the Chief
administrator of the courts to report annually to the legislature and
the governor about the function and effectiveness of drug courts in
the state operating as part of the Drug Courts Treatment Program.

JUSTIFICATION:
Drug treatment courts are currently operating in criminal and family
courts throughout the state. These courts offer non-violent drug
offenders an opportunity to participate in treatment programs as an
alternative to incarceration. In many cases, community services
organizations provide the required treatment to drug court
participants. However, many of these community service providers

suffer from a lack of resources and they are generally not able to
access funding through the Drug Courts Treatment Program. This bill
requires the Office of Court Administration to report to the governor
and the legislature regarding the function of the drug courts,
including information about the participation level of community
service providers. This information will better enable the
legislature to determine and realize the necessity of increased
funding for the community service providers that play a vital role in
the success of the Drug Courts Treatment Program.
