SB570 broadens who can run and participate in community punishment and corrections programs by including nonprofit groups, allows broader offender participation (including those convicted of selling controlled substances), and lets counties provide liability insurance to authorities and nonprofit entities.
It adds nonprofit entities to the definitions and roles under the Community Punishment and Corrections Act so they can operate or participate in programs. It removes the rule that blocks offenders who sold controlled substances from taking part in these programs. It lets county commissions provide liability insurance to authorities and nonprofit entities involved in the programs, using funds from available sources. The changes become effective immediately after passage.
