Expands eligibility for veterans treatment court programs to non-citizens by prohibiting denial based on citizenship status, so more veterans including non-citizens can access these diversion programs instead of standard criminal enforcement.
Access to a veterans treatment court program may not be limited or denied to any veteran or member of the United States armed forces under Subsection (a) solely based on the veteran's or member's citizenship status.
Removes citizenship as a barrier to veterans treatment court participation for service members and veterans, reducing immigration-related restrictions in state court diversion programs.
Access to a veterans treatment court program may not be limited or denied to any veteran or member of the United States armed forces under Subsection (a) solely based on the veteran's or member's citizenship status.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a provision to Government Code §124.002 barring denial of access to veterans treatment court programs based solely on citizenship status. This affects immigration-enforcement by limiting state court programs' ability to exclude non-citizens, which restricts the scope of immigration-related barriers in criminal justice processing for veterans.
