Crimes: alternatives to incarceration.

Introduced Feb 20, 2026Natasha Johnson (R-CA)

Summary

Existing law requires a court to consider alternatives to incarceration, including, without limitation, collaborative justice court programs, diversion, restorative justice, and probation. Existing law states that it is the intent of the Legislature that the disposition of any criminal case use the least restrictive means possible. This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to this provision.
