8:07Now PlayingA bill that would create statewide guidance for courts to redirect veterans into rehabilitation programs instead of jail came before the Senate Veterans and Military Affairs Committee Thursday, January 21. Several veterans testified that Veterans Restorative Justice programs, already available in some areas of the state, save money, stop the cycle of domestic abuse and allow service men and women a chance to change their life’s direction without a stain on their records.
Senator Roger Chamberlain, R-Lino Lakes, the bill's author, said the program will “keep [veterans] out of prison and send them down a path of treatment and rehabilitation, so that they can be reintegrated fully back instead of being housed in a state prison somewhere.” The measure passed unanimously and was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
