Item 1

 
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

 
Sec. 1. 15 MRSA §1051, sub-§3-A is enacted to read:

 
3-A.__Alcohol and drug treatment program.__As a condition of
release, the court may impose the condition of participation in
an alcohol and drug treatment program for a period not to exceed
12 months pursuant to Title 4, chapter 8.__If the court orders
participation in a drug and alcohol treatment program under this
subsection, on final disposition the court shall consider whether
there has been compliance with the program.__If the court finds,
after opportunity for hearing, that a defendant released with a
condition of participation in an alcohol and drug treatment
program has intentionally or knowingly violated that condition,
the court may impose a sanction of up to 7 days' detention.__
Nothing in this subsection restricts the ability of the court to
impose sanctions other than detention for the violation of a
condition of participation in an alcohol and drug treatment
program or the ability of the court to enter any dispositional
order allowed under section 1099-A on final disposition.

alcohol treatment program as a condition of post-conviction bail.
This bill also allows the court to impose sanctions if the
defendant violates the condition.
