HB1047 removes the requirement that courts must follow probation officers' recommendations when ordering someone on probation to get treatment (such as substance abuse or mental health services). Instead, courts will have discretion to accept, reject, or modify treatment recommendations based on their own judgment of what's appropriate for each offender.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
