§ 254. Attendance at treatment facility
- (a) The court may require a person as a condition of probation to participate as a resident
or nonresident in programs at a treatment center for all or part of the period of
probation, provided that the Commissioner certifies that adequate treatment facilities,
personnel, and programs are available. If the Commissioner determines that the person’s
residence in the center or participation in its programs, or both, should be terminated,
because the person can derive no further significant benefits from such residence
or participation, or both, or because his or her residence or participation adversely
affects the rehabilitation of other residents or participants, he or she shall so
notify the court, which shall thereupon, by order, make such other provision with
respect to the person on probation as it deems appropriate. (b) A person residing in or participating in a program at a treatment center shall be
required to abide by the rules and regulations of the center and may be required to
pay such cost incident to residence as the Commissioner deems appropriate. (Added 1971, No. 199 (Adj. Sess.), § 20.)
