The court shall increase the total fine, if necessary, to include this increment, which shall be in addition to any other penalty prescribed by law.

(b) The court shall determine whether or not the person who is convicted of a violation of this chapter has the ability to pay a drug program fee. If the court determines that the person has the ability to pay, the court may set the amount to be paid and order the person to pay that sum to the county in a manner that the court believes is reasonable and compatible with the person’s financial ability. In its determination of whether a person has the ability to pay, the court shall take into account the amount of any fine imposed upon that person and any amount that person has been ordered to pay in restitution. If the court determines that the person does not have the ability to pay a drug program fee, the person shall not be required to pay a drug program fee.

(c) The county treasurer shall maintain a drug program fund. For every drug program fee assessed and collected pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b), an amount equal to this assessment shall be deposited into the fund for every conviction pursuant to this chapter, in addition to fines, forfeitures, and other moneys that are transmitted by the courts to the county treasurer pursuant to Sections 11372.5 and 11502.

text:
(a) (1) When a person who is otherwise eligible for probation is granted probation by the trial court or sentenced pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170 of the Penal Code, after conviction for a violation of any controlled substance offense under this division, the trial court shall, as a condition of probation, order that person to complete successfully a controlled substance education or treatment program, as appropriate for the individual, approved pursuant to subdivision (c), or if none is available, from a local community agency designated by the court.

(2) For purposes of this section, “complete successfully” means that a defendant who has had controlled substance education or treatment imposed as a condition of probation has completed the prescribed course of controlled substance education or treatment as recommended by the treatment provider and ordered by the court. Completion of education or treatment shall not require cessation of narcotic replacement therapy.

(3) When referring a person pursuant to this subdivision, the court shall determine the person’s ability to pay. If the court finds that the person is financially unable to pay, the court may develop a sliding fee schedule for the program based on the person’s ability to pay. A person who meets the criteria set forth in Section 68632 of the Government Code shall not be responsible for any costs.

(4) (A) To fulfill the requirements of paragraph (1), when a defendant is granted probation by the trial court after conviction for a violation of Section 11350, 11351, or 11352 involving any amount of fentanyl, carfentanil, benzimidazole opiate, or an analog thereof, the trial court shall order that person to successfully complete a fentanyl and synthetic opiate education program, if one is available.

(B) A fee shall not be imposed for participation or enrollment in a fentanyl and synthetic opiate education program.

(b) The willful failure to complete a court-ordered controlled substance education or treatment program shall be a circumstance in aggravation for purposes of sentencing for any subsequent prosecution for a violation of Section 11353, 11354, or 11380. The failure to complete an education or treatment program because of the person’s inability to pay the costs of the program or because of the unavailability to the defendant of appropriate programs is not a willful failure to complete the program for the purposes of this section.

(c) (1) The court or the probation department shall refer defendants only to controlled substance education or treatment programs that follow standards outlined in paragraph (2), which may include, but are not limited to, lectures, classes, group discussions, and counseling. The county drug program administrator, with input from representatives of the court, the county probation department, and substance use treatment providers, shall design and implement an approval and renewal process for controlled substance education or treatment programs.

(2) A controlled substance education and treatment program shall be based on the best available current science and evidence and provide educational resources on the pathology of addiction and existing treatment modalities. The goal of a controlled substance education or treatment program shall be to save lives and reduce the risks associated with drug use, including the manufacture and distribution of controlled substances, and to reduce the recidivism that occurs from the use of controlled substances. As such, a controlled substance education or treatment program shall include education about how the use of controlled substances affects the body and brain, factors that contribute to physical dependence, how to recognize and respond to the signs of drug overdose, and the dangers of using controlled substances, unless under appropriate medical supervision. Such education shall be culturally and linguistically appropriate and may include, but is not limited to, informing program participants about the physical and mental health risks associated with substance use disorders, the grave health risk to those who are exposed to controlled substances and the extreme danger to human life when manufactured or distributed.

(d) Upon conviction of any felony in which the defendant is sentenced to state prison for a violation of any controlled substance offense under this division, a court shall, in addition to any other terms of imprisonment, fine, and conditions, recommend in writing that the defendant participate in a controlled substance education or treatment program while imprisoned that complies with the standards outlined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (c).

(e) Upon conviction of any felony in which the defendant is sentenced pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170 of the Penal Code and the court does not order suspension of the execution of the term of imprisonment pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (5) of subdivision (h) of Section 1170 of the Penal Code, for a violation of any controlled substance offense under this division, a court shall, in addition to any other terms of imprisonment, fine, and conditions, recommend in writing that the defendant participate in a controlled substance education or treatment program while imprisoned that complies with the standards outlined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (c).

(f) As used in this section, “opiate” includes “opioid” drugs.

The county treasurer shall pay that money at least once a month to the agency that requested recovery of the cost for the removal action. The county may retain up to 5 percent of any assessed penalty for appropriate and reasonable administrative costs attributable to the collection and disbursement of the penalty.

(2) If the Department of Toxic Substances Control has requested recovery of the cost of removing the hazardous substance that is a controlled substance or a chemical used in, or is a byproduct of, the manufacture of a controlled substance or taking removal action with respect to any release of the hazardous substance, the county treasurer shall transfer funds in the amount of the penalty collected to the Treasurer, who shall deposit the money in the Illegal Drug Lab Cleanup Account, which is hereby created in the General Fund in the State Treasury. The Department of Toxic Substances Control may expend the money in the Illegal Drug Lab Cleanup Account, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to cover the cost of taking removal actions pursuant to Article 16 (commencing with Section 79350) of Chapter 5 of Part 2 of Division 45.

(b) Notwithstanding any other law, a positive test for use of a controlled substance, any other drug that may not be possessed without a prescription, or alcohol shall not be grounds for dismissal from the program, unless the person is not making progress in the program. The court shall consider a report or recommendation of the treatment provider in making this determination. It shall be presumed that a person engaged in a program is making progress, unless that presumption is defeated by clear and convincing evidence. The person may offer evidence or an argument that he or she would benefit from and make progress in a different program or mode. If the court so finds, it may place the person in a different treatment program.

(c) Notwithstanding any other law, the following persons are excluded from participation in the program under this section:

(1) A person with a history of violence that indicates that he or she presents a current risk of violent behavior currently or during the treatment program. This ground for exclusion shall be established by clear and convincing evidence.

(2) A person required to register as a sex offender pursuant to Section 290, unless the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the person does not present a substantial risk of committing sexual offenses currently or through the course of the program and the person would benefit from the program, including that treatment would reduce the risk that the person would sexually reoffend.

(3) A person who the treatment provider concludes is unamenable to any and all forms of drug treatment. The defendant may present evidence that he or she is amenable to treatment and the court may retain the person in the program if the court finds that the person is amenable to treatment through a different provider or a different mode of treatment.

(d) Notwithstanding any other law, a prior conviction for an offense involving a controlled substance or drug that may not be possessed without a prescription, including a substance listed in Section 11357.5 or 11375.5, is not grounds for exclusion from the program, unless the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the person is likely to engage in drug commerce for financial gain, rather than for purposes of obtaining a drug or drugs for personal use.

In determining whether or not to strike the additional punishment, the court shall consider the following factors and any relevant factors in aggravation or mitigation in Rules 4.421 and 4.423 of the California Rules of Court.

(1) The following factors indicate that the court should exercise its discretion to strike the additional punishment unless these factors are outweighed by factors in aggravation:

(A) The defendant is homeless, or is in a homeless shelter or transitional housing.

(B) The defendant lacks resources for the necessities of life.

(C) The defendant is addicted to or dependent on controlled substances.

(D) The defendant’s motive was merely to maintain a steady supply of drugs for personal use.

(E) The defendant was recruited or exploited by a more culpable person to commit the crime.

(2) The following factors indicate that the court should not exercise discretion to strike the additional punishment unless these factors are outweighed by factors in mitigation:

(A) The defendant, in committing the crime, preyed on homeless persons, persons with substance use disorder, or substance abusers who were seeking treatment, shelter or transitional services.

(B) The defendant’s primary motive was monetary compensation.

(C) The defendant induced others, particularly homeless persons, persons with substance use disorder, and substance abusers, to become involved in trafficking.

(d) For the purposes of this section, the following terms have the following meanings:
