Provides that the results of urine tests conducted pursuant to a judicial diversion program shall be private and confidential
This bill requires that urine test results from judicial diversion programs be kept private and confidential. It prevents courts or any other parties from sharing these results without the defendant's consent, and explicitly prohibits using such results as evidence in criminal cases. The policy applies to all urine tests conducted under these programs, including results showing non-prescribed substance use. This ensures participants' privacy while allowing necessary treatment program access.
