• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 23: ADDICTION SERVICES
• Ch. 5: Conditional Deferment of Judicial Proceedings After

Text

In a criminal proceeding for a misdemeanor or
infraction in which:
(1) the use or abuse of alcohol, drugs, or harmful substances is a
contributing factor or a material element of the offense; or
(2) the defendant's mental illness other than substance abuse, is
a contributing factor;
the court may take judicial notice of the fact that proper early
intervention, medical, advisory, or rehabilitative treatment of the
defendant is likely to decrease the defendant's tendency to engage in
antisocial behavior.
