Court supervised treatment programs-prosecutor's consent.
HB 177 removes the requirement for prosecutors to consent before defendants can join court-supervised treatment programs in Wyoming. Previously, defendants needed agreement from the prosecutor, judge, and program team; this bill now requires only the judge and defendant's consent, plus program team acceptance. The change applies to all criminal cases filed on or after July 1, 2019, streamlining access to treatment options. This policy shift does not alter prosecutors' authority in charging or prosecuting cases, only the process for program enrollment.
