This statute allows for district attorneys to establish community conflict resolution programs and broadly outlines how district attorneys and courts should identify those cases suitable for ADR. The code specifies that cases involving a history of child abuse, sexual assault or domestic violence, or where there is a protective order in place, shall be ineligible for referral to these programs. It also requires both parties in the dispute to agree to participate in the ADR process.
