the department and the Judicial Council to implement the Drug Court
Partnership Act of 1998 (Article 3 (commencing with Section 11970).

Steering Committee's recommended guidelines. Revised multiagency
plans that are reviewed and approved by the department and
recommended by the Drug Court Systems Steering Committee shall be
funded for the 2002-03 fiscal year under this article. The
department, without a renewal of the Drug Court Systems Steering
Committee's original recommendation, may disburse future year
appropriations to the grantees.
   (B) The multiagency plan shall identify the resources and
strategies for providing an effective drug court program exclusively
for convicted felons who meet the requirements of this article and
the guidelines adopted thereunder, and shall set forth the basis for
determining eligibility for participation that will maximize savings
to the state in avoided prison costs.
   (C) The multiagency plan shall include, but not be limited to, all
of the following components:
   (i) The method by which the drug court will ensure that the target
population of felons will be identified and referred to the drug
court.

   (iii) The method by which the grantee will provide the specific
outcomes and data required by the department to determine state
prison savings or cost avoidance.
   (iv) Assurance that funding received pursuant to this article will
be used to supplement, rather than supplant, existing programs.
   (c) Grant funds shall be used only for programs that are

No reimbursement shall be made until and unless the drug court is in
full and complete compliance with all the data reporting
requirements of the department and the Judicial Council.
   (g) If grant funds are withheld from grantees for failure to
comply with the requirements of this article for a period of more
than six months, the grantee's grant shall be terminated and the
remaining funds of the terminated grant shall be redistributed to the
remaining grantees, for the purpose of increasing the number of
defendants participating in each drug court program.
   (h) The department shall annually submit a report to the
Legislature during budget hearings regarding the cost savings of the
program in avoided state prison costs.
