Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2024, $1,000,000)
The Vermont Judiciary requests enhancement funding for the Southeast Regional DUI Treatment Docket Expansion and Enhancement Project. The project proposes to expand access to justice for criminal defendants with substance use disorder by developing a separate drug court track within the existing DUI docket for non-DUI offenders; enhance treatment service delivery by funding the Southeast Regional DUI Treatment Docket Treatment Operations Director and Case Manager; and expand access to treatment and recovery services through contracting with public transportation to provide on-demand rides in the rural multi-county region.
