Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 29-3601

Current with changes through the 2024 First Special Legislative Session

Section 29-3601 - Legislative findings

The Legislature finds that pretrial diversion offers persons charged with criminal offenses and minor traffic violations an alternative to traditional criminal justice proceedings in that:

(1) It permits participation by the accused only on a voluntary basis;

(2) the accused has access to counsel for criminal offenses prior to a decision to participate;

(3) it occurs prior to an adjudication but after arrest and a decision has been made by the prosecutor that the offense will support criminal charges; and

(4) it results in dismissal of charges, or its equivalent, if the individual successfully completes the diversion process.
