(a) An offender who enters into the pretrial diversion program shall satisfy each of the following requirements:
(1) Voluntarily waive, in writing, and contingent upon the successful completion of the program, his or her right to a speedy trial.
(2) Agree, in writing, to the tolling, while in the program, of the periods of limitation established by relevant statutes or rules of court.
(3) Agree, in writing, to the conditions of the pretrial diversion program established by the prosecutor for the offender.
(4) Agree, in writing, to pay restitution, if any, due to the victim within a specified period of time and in an amount to be determined by the municipal court taking into account circumstances of the offender and victim. Any restitution collected under this subsection shall be made payable to and disbursed by the clerk of the municipal court.
(5) Provide a statement, written and signed by the offender, to the municipal prosecutor admitting participation in and responsibility for the offense or violation which is the subject of the application for entry into the pretrial diversion program. This statement shall be admissible in any criminal trial.
(b) The municipal court and municipal prosecutor’s pretrial diversion records, along with the records relating to admission into the pretrial diversion program, are confidential records and shall not be admissible in subsequent proceedings, criminal or civil. Communications between pretrial diversion program counselors and offenders shall be privileged unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines there is a compelling public interest that the communications be submitted to such court for an in camera review. Following such in camera review, a court must then decide whether or not the information should remain privileged or be released.
(c) The records of the offender maintained as a part of the program may be destroyed after the program has been successfully completed by the offender. However, the municipal court may keep the contract signed by the offender in order to maintain an accurate record of program participation.
