This Act applies to criminal offenses committed where alcohol is involved during the commission of the offense, or is determined to be an underlying factor in the commission of the offense. The court may stay the case provided the defendant agrees to be evaluated and treated in a sixty or ninety day alcohol rehabilitation program. Once this program is successfully completed, the charges may be dismissed in the discretion of the court. An ATRA stay is not available for traffic violations.

The court may “stay” the case provided the defendant agrees to be evaluated and treated in a sixty or ninety day alcohol rehabilitation program. Once this program is successfully completed, the charges may be dismissed in the discretion of the court. An ATRA stay is not available for traffic violations.
