Relating to procedures regarding certain persons who are or may be persons with a mental illness or intellectual or developmental disability.

SB 2213 requires Texas law enforcement agencies to divert individuals experiencing mental health crises or substance abuse issues to treatment programs instead of jail, provided the offense is a non-violent misdemeanor and mental health is suspected to be the cause. It also establishes a court process to dismiss criminal cases when defendants lack capacity due to mental illness or intellectual/developmental disability, allowing judges to dismiss charges after determining probable cause. Agencies must adopt diversion plans and submit annual reports to local governing bodies and the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement. The bill excludes cases involving violent offenses or specific drug-related misdemeanors under Texas Penal Code sections 49.04-49.08.
