Treatment courts-amendments.
HB 49 amends Wyoming's Court Supervised Treatment Program Act to expand access to treatment for individuals with substance use disorders or mental health conditions involved in the justice system. It replaces "substance abuse" with "substance use" throughout the law, adds mental health treatment to program options, and allows treatment programs to accept participants from any Wyoming jurisdiction. The bill also permits public defenders to join treatment teams as advocates for participants and updates definitions to include terms like "dual diagnosis" (co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions). These changes aim to create more integrated treatment pathways within courts, focusing on recovery rather than incarceration for eligible individuals.
