The
Department of Corrections shall be authorized to establish and operate pretrial
release and diversion programs as rehabilitative measures for persons charged
with felonies for which bond is permissible under the law in the courts of this
state prior to conviction; provided, however, that no such program shall be
established in a county without the unanimous approval of the superior court
judges, the district attorney, and the sheriff of such county. The Board of
Corrections shall promulgate rules and regulations governing any pretrial
release and diversion programs established and operated by the department and
shall grant authorization for the establishment of such programs based on the
availability of sufficient staff and resources.
