Background and Discussion:
The Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 16.22 references the early identification of defendants suspected of having a mental illness or intellectual disability. The ILA, approved initially on December 17, 2019, provides for mental health screening services by the Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD in accordance with Article 16.22.
On November 30, 2021, the ILA was amended to include services from the then General Order Bond (GOB) pilot program, now the Community Assistance Resource Program, to fulfill section C 53 of the O’Donnell Consent Decree requiring nonappearance mitigation support for misdemeanors. Additional funding from the Safety + Justice Challenge grant is provided for nonappearance mitigation support for felonies.
Expected Impact:
Approval of this item will continue 16.22 services and nonappearance mitigation support.
