What it does
Under existing law, prosecution of an offense filed as a misdemeanor may be postponed, either temporarily or permanently, at any point in the judicial process from the point at which the accused is charged until adjudication, for the person charged to participate in a diversion program for the treatment of problem drinking or alcoholism. Additionally, prosecution may be postponed in other instances, including first-time, nonviolent felony drug offenses and for defendants with cognitive developmental disabilities.
