2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
The law limits how long a court can keep you in community restoration. Limits range from 90 days for lower charges up to 24 months for the most serious felonies. To extend time, a party must ask at least five days before the end, show you are making progress, and the court holds a hearing within 30 days. The court checks progress at least every 45 days and holds review hearings every 180 days (every 90 days for lower offenses), with evaluations at least every 180 days. Providers must tell the court within two judicial days if you miss treatment or refuse medication, and report again when you comply.
The law creates a state fund for courthouse projects and allows state bonds to pay for them, capped at $19 million in net bond money plus bond costs. To use this money, the Chief Justice must find replacement or renovation clearly benefits court operations and the state agency must approve. Counties must pay a large share into the fund: at least 50% if the courthouse adds other state offices, or at least 75% if it does not; approved courthouse land can count at its appraised value or purchase price. The state qualifies as operating a courthouse for bond use when it has exclusive control under a full lease or intergovernmental deal for at least the bond term. Counties may use property taxes, county bonds, or other local funds for their share.
