 Mississippi Senate Bill 2246 to Amend Drug Court
Law
This proposed law would amend Mississippi's 2003 law that sought to
establish a drug court in each jurisdiction. The bill was proposed in
recognition of the need to adequately fund the programs before expanding
statewide. It also establishes an advisory committee to develop and
periodically update proposed statewide evaluation plans and models for
monitoring all critical aspects of drug courts. The committee must
provide the proposed evaluation plans to the Chief Justice and the
Administrative Office of Courts.
The State Drug Court Advisory Committee shall establish through rules and
regulations a viable and fiscally responsible plan to expand the number
of adult and juvenile drug court programs operating in Mississippi. These
rules and regulations shall include plans to increase participation in
existing and future programs while maintaining their voluntary nature.
