Regards criminal defendant substance use disorder, mental health

HB 680 prevents judges from mandating that criminal defendants receive substance use disorder or mental health treatment exclusively at for-profit or nonprofit (including faith-based) facilities solely based on the entity's organizational status. It directly affects defendants in court cases involving substance use or mental health treatment requirements. The bill's key provision prohibits judges from requiring treatment at any specific type of provider (for-profit vs. nonprofit) as a condition of their case. This bill is currently in the early stages, having been introduced on February 4, 2026, and referred to committee on February 18.
