PC 1001.36 Eligibility Requirements in California
California's PC 1001.36 mental health diversion program has several statutory requirements that defendants must understand before seeking diversion. A qualifying mental disorder is only one part of the evaluation. Courts may also consider whether the condition was a significant factor in the alleged offense, whether symptoms can respond to treatment, whether the defendant agrees to participate, whether speedy-trial rights are waived, and whether treatment can be provided without creating an unreasonable public-safety risk. This article explains these requirements in detail and discusses excluded offenses, the court process, treatment plans, and the potential consequences of successfully completing mental health diversion.
