Monies received pursuant to this appropriation may be used only for felony pretrial intervention programs administered by the respective county attorney offices, except that the Arizona criminal justice commission may spend up to one percent of the monies for administrative expenses. Felony pretrial intervention programs shall provide substance abuse treatment including medically assisted treatment with mandatory drug testing when appropriate, cognitive behavioral therapy and case management services as appropriate for nondangerous, nonrepetitive offenders. The county attorney may place persons who have co‑occurring disorders in a felony pretrial intervention program that is funded pursuant to this section. The county attorney shall require each felony pretrial intervention program treatment provider to provide the county attorney with a report on each offender's attendance record and whether an offender fails a drug test.
C. The appropriation made in subsection A of this section is exempt from the provisions of section 35-190, Arizona Revised Statutes, relating to lapsing of appropriations.
