This procedure allows Defendants charged with certain drug offenses to be monitored for a period of time determined by the court. The Judge may require the Defendant to attend drug counseling and have random drug tests. To be eligible, a Defendant must have:

  • Never been convicted of a drug offense in any state or federal court, and
  • Never been granted a conditional discharge before
  • Never received Pre-Trail Intervention (PTI) or Pre-Trial Diversion in any state or federal court

If granted a conditional discharge, the Defendant must pay mandatory assessments, and the Judge may suspend his or her driving privileges. If during the monitoring period no additional offenses have been committed, and there is compliance with all conditions (including satisfying all financial obligations), the original charges will be dismissed.
