Funding for Aroostook County’s drug treatment court
The law provides $740,783 in one-time funding for the new Aroostook County drug treatment court in fiscal year 2026-27. This includes $561,283 for the Office of Behavioral Health to contract for required pretrial services. It also provides $140,500 for one limited-period prosecutor position and $39,000 for legal representation for court participants. By June 30, 2027, the State Controller must transfer this money from the Opioid Use Disorder Prevention and Treatment Fund.
