The bill also specifies provisions for the diversion program and for cases to be directed to the program. According to the Office of Court Administration, no significant fiscal impact on the court system is anticipated. Local Government Impact There could be costs to a local governmental entity that chose to establish a diversion program. However, it is assumed that a juvenile board would establish a pre-adjudication diversion program only if sufficient funds were available or it would not result in a negative fiscal impact; therefore, no significant fiscal impact is anticipated.
