As used in this section, "evidence-based practices" means intervention programs
and supervision policies, procedures, programs, and practices that scientific
research demonstrates reduce instances of a defendant's failure to appear in court
and criminal activity among pretrial defendants when implemented competently.
In order to increase the effectiveness of supervision and intervention programs
funded by the state and provided to pretrial defendants, the Supreme Court shall
require that a vendor or contractor providing supervision and intervention programs
for adult criminal defendants use evidence-based practices.
The Supreme Court shall measure the effectiveness of supervision and intervention
programs provided by vendors or contractors and demonstrate that the programs
have a documented evidence base and have been evaluated for effectiveness in
reducing a defendant's failure to appear in court and criminal activity.
The Supreme Court shall require, at a minimum, the following:
(a) A process for reviewing the objective criteria for evidence-based practices
established by the vendor or contractor providing the program;
(b) A process for auditing the effectiveness of the program;
(c) An opportunity for programs that do not meet the criteria based on the audit
results to improve performance; and
(d) A mechanism to defund any program provided by a vendor or contractor that
does not meet the criteria upon a second audit.
Beginning July 1, 2012, twenty-five percent (25%) of state moneys expended on
supervision and intervention programs for pretrial defendants shall be for programs
that are in accordance with evidence-based practices. Beginning July 1, 2016, fifty
percent (50%) of state moneys expended on supervision and intervention programs
shall be for programs that are in accordance with evidence-based practices.
Beginning July 1, 2016, and thereafter, seventy-five percent (75%) of state moneys
expended on supervision and intervention programs shall be for programs that are in
accordance with evidence-based practices.
