Existing law establishes pretrial diversion programs whereby a defendant accused of specified drug-related crimes may agree to waive a speedy trial and participate in treatment while criminal proceedings are suspended. Existing law states the Legislature’s intent that these provisions, except as provided, not be construed to preempt other current or future pretrial or precomplaint diversion programs.

This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to those provisions.
