  2. Title 22

The drug court program may be utilized as a disciplinary

sanction for a violation of a condition of parole related to

substance abuse for eligible offenses, or in a case where the

offender has been tried for an eligible offense in the traditional

manner, given either a deferred or suspended sentence, and has

violated a condition of the sentence. The judge shall not order an

offender into treatment within the scope of any drug court program

without prior approval from both the district attorney and the

defense attorney or offender. If both the district attorney and the

defense attorney or offender agree, the case may be transferred to

the drug court program with the approval of the presiding drug court

judge. After a case has been transferred to the drug court docket,

it shall continue with the designated drug court judge until the

offender is revoked or released from the program. The offenders

whose cases have been transferred from a traditional criminal case

docket to the drug court docket shall be required to have a drug

court investigation and complete the drug court process prior to

placement in any treatment program authorized by Section 471 et seq.
