1 9 Section 1. Section 904.513, subsection 1, Code 1999, is
1 10 amended to read as follows:
1 11 1. a. The department of corrections, in cooperation with
1 12 the judicial district departments of correctional services,
1 13 shall establish in each judicial district a continuum of
1 14 programming for the supervision and treatment of offenders
1 15 convicted of violating chapter 321J who are sentenced to the
1 16 custody of the director. The continuum shall include a range
1 17 of sanctioning options that include, but are not limited to,
1 18 prisons and residential facilities.
1 19 b. (1) The department of corrections shall develop
1 20 standardized assessment criteria for the assignment of
1 21 offenders pursuant to this chapter.
1 22 (2) Offenders convicted of violating chapter 321J,
1 23 sentenced to the custody of the director, and awaiting
1 24 placement in a community residential substance abuse treatment
1 25 program for such offenders shall be placed in an institutional
1 26 substance abuse program for such offenders within sixty days
1 27 of admission to the institution or as soon as practical. When
1 28 placing offenders convicted of violating chapter 321J in
1 29 community residential substance abuse treatment programs for
1 30 such offenders, the department shall give priority as
1 31 appropriate to the placement of those offenders currently in
1 32 institutional substance abuse programs for such offenders.
1 33 The department shall work with each judicial district to
1 34 enable such offenders to enter community residential substance
1 35 abuse treatment programs at a level comparable to their prior
2 1 institutional program participation.
2 2 (3) Assignment shall be for the purposes of risk
2 3 management and substance abuse treatment and may include
2 4 education or work programs when the offender is not
2 5 participating in other program components.
2 6 (4) Assignment may also be made on the basis of the
2 7 offender's treatment program performance, as a disciplinary
2 8 measure, for medical needs, and for space availability at
2 9 community residential facilities. If there is insufficient
2 10 space at a community residential facility, the court may order
2 11 an offender to be released to the supervision of the judicial
2 12 district department of correctional services or held in jail.
