Text

In offering an individual an opportunity to
request treatment, the court shall advise the individual of the following:
(1) If the individual requests to undergo treatment and is
accepted, the individual may be placed under the supervision of
the division for a period not to exceed three (3) years.
(2) During treatment the individual may be confined in an
institution or, at the discretion of the division, the individual may
be released for treatment or supervised aftercare in the
community.
(3) If the individual completes treatment, the charge will be
dismissed, but if the individual does not complete treatment,
prosecution on the charge may be resumed.
(4) A request constitutes a formal waiver of the right to a speedy
trial and constitutes a formal waiver of Criminal Rule 4
concerning discharge for delay in criminal trials.
(5) To make a request the individual must waive a jury trial and
consent to a trial by the court or must enter a guilty plea, with the
general finding to be entered by the court to be deferred until the
time that prosecution may be resumed.
