This measure would amend CPL 170.15(4) to expand a local criminal court's ability to trans- fer cases to another local problem-solving court, including but not limited to a drug court, mental health court, veterans court, adolescent diversion part, domestic violence misdemeanor part, sex offense court, community court or human trafficking court, in order to take advantage of the specialized support services and resources available in those courts for defendants charged with non-felony offenses.
