Draft Disclaimer
Prior to task force meetings, ALEC posts these legislative member-submitted draft model policies to our website. The draft model policies are then discussed, debated, and voted on by ALEC task force members. Policies that receive final approval by legislators on the ALEC Board of Directors become official ALEC model policy. Draft model policies that fail to become official ALEC model policy are removed from the website.
Summary
The Veterans Treatment Court Act authorizes the creation of specialized veterans treatment court programs for eligible defendants in criminal cases. The programs use evidence-based treatment, supervision, multidisciplinary teams, and VA/community partnerships to address underlying service-related conditions that may have contributed to the defendant’s criminal behavior. The Act allows participation before trial, after conviction, or as a condition of probation or community control.
