Subject: Veterans Treatment Courts bills signed by Gov Hobbs
Written by Mike Infanzon with thanks to the AZ Legislators who put so much work into this. And to those who worked on it behind the scenes,This set of legislation tracks the veterans from first contact with law enforcement until they are released with VA benefits restored and they walk out without having to hustle and stress to obtain money.The AZDVS Post 9-11 MFRF had one of these cases last month.Please feel free to share.Veterans Treatment Courts are not about leniency. They are about accountability that works.
This session, Arizona advanced a strong veterans justice package:
HB2226 helps identify veterans at initial appearance, sponsored by Blackman SB1275 gives county attorneys a veterans diversion tool sponsored by Gowan HB2960, sponsored by Rep. Stacey Travers after years of work on this issue, creates a Veterans Specialty Court Grant Program and Treatment Court Fund.
Arizona has a chance to move eligible veterans out of ordinary case processing and into supervised treatment, diversion, and community-based reintegration.
