18. MOU BETWEEN MARICOPA COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE AND MARICOPA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH Approve the Memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Maricopa County Attorney’s Office (MCAO) and Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) to establish MCAO’s Opioid Use—Felony Diversion Program (OU -FDP) Pilot. The purpose of the MOU is to use MCDPH Justice Reinvestment Funds to fund this Pilot project. The funds are to be used for defendants who are deemed eligible for the diversion program by a Deputy County Attorney assigned to a Family Violen ce Bureau AND are uninsured/underinsured. The goal of this Pilot is to provide the defendant an opportunity to opt in for therapeutic interventions to address a substance use disorder rather than be prosecuted and convicted of a felony offense. In additi on, the Pilot provides wraparound services to the defendant’s family to ensure the family unit may stay together if it is safe for the child/children. The term of this MOU shall become effective November 21, 2022 and shall remain in effect until November 21, 2025. Referrals to the Pilot will conclude on May 1, 2024, therefore permitting eighteen (18) months for a defendant to complete the program by the MOU expiration date. The MOU shall remain effective unless terminated by either party in writing, term inate the instrument in whole, or in part, at any time before the date of expiration. The MOU may be extended upon the written approval of both parties. The mutual benefit for the parties is to develop a program that supports offenders in need of treatm ent, while strengthening family resiliency and reducing recidivism. Defendants will receive the support they need to be successful in life and with their family. MCDPH will pay for up to 50 enrolled defendants. Should the number of defendants exceed 50, the Director of Diversion Strategies Group shall contact MCDPH to discuss additional funding. (C-19-23-051-X-00)
