Concerning changes to sentencing of persons convicted of drug crimes, and, in connection therewith, making an appropriation. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado: SECTION 1. In Colorado Revised Statutes, add 18-1.3-103.5 as follows: 18-1.3-103.5. Felony convictions - vacate and enter conviction on misdemeanor after successful completion. (1) In order to expand opportunities for offenders to avoid a drug felony conviction, to reduce the significant negative consequences of that felony conviction, and to provide positive reinforcement for drug offenders who work to successfully complete any community-based sentence imposed by the court, the legislature hereby creates an additional opportunity for those drug offenders who may not otherwise have been eligible for or successful in other statutorily created programs that allow the drug offender to avoid a felony conviction, such as diversion or deferred judgment. (2) (a) In a case in which the defendant enters a plea of guilty or is found guilty by the court or a jury for a crime listed in subsection (3) of this section, the court shall order, upon successful completion of any community-based sentence to probation or to a community corrections program, the felony conviction vacated and shall enter a conviction for a level 1 misdemeanor drug offense of possession of a controlled substance pursuant to section 18-18-403.5. Upon entry of the judgment of conviction pursuant to section 18-18-403.5, the court shall indicate in its order that the judgment of conviction is entered pursuant to the provisions of this section. (b) Whether a sentence is successfully completed shall be determined by the court without a jury with notice to the district attorney and the defendant or the defendant's attorney of record. A community-based sentence is not successfully completed if the defendant has not successfully completed the treatment as ordered by the court and determined appropriate to address the defendant's treatment needs. (3) This section applies to convictions for the following offenses: (a) Possession of a controlled substance; but only when the quantity of the controlled substance is not more than four grams of a schedule I or schedule II controlled substance, not more than two grams of methamphetamine, heroin, ketamine, or cathinone, or not more than four milligrams of flunitrazepam. The district attorney and defendant may stipulate to the amount of the controlled substance possessed by the defendant at the time of sentencing, or the court shall determine the amount at the time of sentencing. (b) A level 4 drug felony for distribution pursuant to the provisions of section 18-18-405 (2) (c) (II); (c) Possession of twelve ounces or more of marijuana or three ounces or more of marijuana concentrate; or (d) A violation of section 18-18-415. (4) Notwithstanding any provision of this section to the contrary, a defendant is not eligible for relief under this section if: (a) The defendant has a prior conviction for a crime of violence as described in section 18-1.3-406 or a prior conviction for an offense that is required to be sentenced pursuant to the provisions of section 18-1.3-406 in this state, or a crime in another state, the United States, or any territory subject to the jurisdiction of the United States that would be a crime of violence or any offense required to be sentenced pursuant to the provisions of section 18-1.3-406 in this state; (b) The defendant is ineligible for probation pursuant to section 18-1.3-201; or (c) (I) The defendant has two or more prior felony convictions for a drug offense pursuant to this article, or a crime in another state, the United States, or any territory subject to the jurisdiction of the United States that would be a drug offense violation of this article. (II) For purposes of this paragraph (c), a prior drug felony conviction includes any prior diversion, deferred prosecution, or deferred judgment and sentence for felony or any felony offense for which relief was previously granted pursuant to this section or any misdemeanor drug conviction that was originally charged as a drug felony offense. SECTION 2. In Colorado Revised Statutes, add 18-1.3-104.5 as follows: 18-1.3-104.5. Alternatives in imposition of sentence in drug felony cases - exhaustion of remedies. (1) The general assembly finds that it is essential in certain level 4 drug felony cases that the court consider all sentencing options to ensure that the state's costly prison resources are used for those offenders for whom another sentence is not appropriate or will not properly meet the goals of community safety and rehabilitation of the offender. (2) (a) Prior to the imposition of any sentence to the department of corrections for a level 4 drug felony offense at sentencing or at resentencing after a revocation of probation or community corrections sentence, the court shall exhaust all reasonable and appropriate alternative sentences for the offense considering all factors outlined in paragraph (b) of this subsection (2). (b) If the court sentences the defendant to the department of corrections for a level 4 drug felony offense, it must determine that incarceration is the most suitable option given the facts and circumstances of the case, including the defendant's willingness to participate in treatment. Further, the court must also determine that all other reasonable and appropriate sanctions and responses to the violation that are available to the court have been tried and failed, do not appear likely to be successful if tried, or present an unacceptable risk to public safety. (c) In making the determination in paragraph (b) of this subsection (2), the court shall review, to the extent available, the information provided by the supervising agency, which includes, but is not limited to, a complete statement as to what treatment and sentencing options have been tried and have failed, what other community options are available and the reasons why any other available community options appear to be unlikely to be successful. The supervising agency shall provide to the court the risk level of the offender as determined by an evidence-based risk assessment tool employed by the supervising agency and any other information relevant to the defendant's risk to public safety. SECTION 3. In Colorado Revised Statutes, 18-1.3-301, amend (4); and add (1) (g.5) as follows: 18-1.3-301. Authority to place offenders in community corrections programs. (1) (g.5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, if an offender is terminated or rejected from a community corrections program after having been sentenced to the program for a level 4 drug felony, the court shall conduct a resentencing hearing in order to comply with each exhaustion of remedy provision in section 18-1.3-405.5 or shall make written findings regarding resentencing after consideration of all the information provided to the court pursuant to section 18-1.3-104.5 (2) (c). Nothing in this section requires that a community corrections program accept or maintain an offender who has been terminated from a community corrections program. (4) (a) District courts, county courts, and other local criminal justice officials may enter into agreements with community corrections programs which include the use of such programs to supervise offenders awaiting trial for felony or misdemeanor offenses, offenders convicted of misdemeanors, or offenders under deferred judgments. Such agreements are subject to review and approval by the community corrections board of the jurisdiction in which any community corrections program making such agreement is located. Any such use of a community corrections program may be supported with funding from local governments, public or private grants, offender fees, and other sources other than the state general fund. (b) A district court, county court, and any other criminal justice official may enter into agreements with community corrections programs that provide residential treatment, for the placement and supervision of drug offenders as a term and condition of probation when assessed treatment need levels indicate that residential treatment is necessary and appropriate. The agreement is subject to review and approval by the community corrections board in the jurisdiction where a community corrections program is located. A community corrections program used pursuant to this paragraph (b) may receive funds from the correctional treatment cash fund, as well as local funding, public or private grants, or offender fees. SECTION 4. In Colorado Revised Statutes, add 18-1.3-401.5 as follows: 18-1.3-401.5. Drug felonies classified - presumptive and aggravated penalties. (1) The provisions of this section only apply to a conviction for a drug felony offense described in article 18 of this title committed on or after October 1, 2013. For purposes of this section, "felony" means any felony or drug felony defined in the state statutes. (2) (a) For offenses committed on or after October 1, 2013, drug felonies are divided into four levels that are distinguished from one another by the ranges of penalties, which are authorized upon conviction of a drug felony: Level Presumptive Range Period of Parole DF1 Eight years Thirty-two Three years years DF2 Four years Eight years Two years DF3 Two years Four years One year DF4 Six months One year One year Level Aggravated Range DF2 Eight years Sixteen years Two years DF3 Four years Six years One year DF4 One year Two years One year (b) (I) As to any person sentenced for a drug felony committed on or after October 1, 2013, as otherwise provided in section 18-1.3-401 (1) (a) (III), in addition to, or in lieu of, any sentence to imprisonment, probation, community corrections, or work release, a fine within the following ranges may be imposed for the specified level of drug felonies: Level Minimum Maximum Sentence Sentence DF1 Five thousand One million dollars dollars DF2 Three thousand Seven hundred fifty dollars thousand dollars DF3 Two thousand Five hundred thousand dollars dollars DF4 One thousand One hundred thousand dollars dollars (II) Failure to pay a fine imposed pursuant to this paragraph (b) is grounds for revocation of probation, community corrections, or a suspended sentence, if the defendant has the ability to pay the fine. (III) If a revocation occurs pursuant to subparagraph (II) of this paragraph (b), the court may impose any sentence legally available, subject to the provisions of section 18-1.3-104.5 (2). (IV) All fines collected pursuant to this paragraph (b) must be deposited in the fines collection fund created in section 18-1.3-401 (1) (a) (III) (D) and are subject to the provisions of that section. (3) A person who is paroled pursuant to section 17-22.5-403, C.R.S., or any person who is not paroled and is discharged pursuant to law, shall be subject to the mandatory period of parole established pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of this section. The mandatory period of parole may not be waived by the offender or waived or suspended by the court and is subject to the provisions of section 17-22.5-403 (8), C.R.S., which permits the state board of parole to discharge the offender at any time during the term of parole upon a determination that the offender has been sufficiently rehabilitated and reintegrated into society and can no longer benefit from parole supervision. (4) The mandatory period of parole imposed pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of this section commences immediately upon the discharge of an offender from imprisonment in the custody of the department of corrections. If the offender has been granted release to parole supervision by the state board of parole, the offender is deemed to have discharged the offender's sentence to imprisonment provided for in subsection (2) of this section in the same manner as if such sentence were discharged pursuant to law. When an offender is released by the state board of parole or released because the offender's sentence was discharged pursuant to law, the mandatory period of parole must be served by the offender. An offender sentenced for a drug felony may receive earned time pursuant to section 17-22.5-405, C.R.S., and while serving a mandatory parole period in accordance with this section. (5) If an offender is sentenced consecutively for the commission of two or more felony offenses pursuant to sentencing provisions in this section or section 18-1.3-401, the mandatory period of parole for the offender must be the longest mandatory period of parole established for a felony for which the offender was convicted. (6) Any person sentenced for a level 1, 2, 3, or 4 drug felony that is the offender's second or subsequent felony or drug felony offense, regardless of the length of the person's sentence to incarceration and the mandatory period of parole, is not deemed to have fully discharged his or her sentence until the person either completes, or is discharged by the state board of parole from, the mandatory period of parole imposed pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of this section. (7) Notwithstanding any provision of this section to the contrary, if the defendant is convicted a level 1 drug felony, the court shall sentence the defendant to a period of at least eight years in the department of corrections. (8) In imposing a sentence to incarceration, the court shall impose a definite sentence that is within the presumptive ranges set forth in subsection (2) of this section; except that, for level 2, level 3, and level 4 drug felonies, the court may sentence the defendant in the aggravated range if it concludes aggravating circumstances exist. The aggravating circumstances must be based on evidence in the record of the sentencing hearing, the presentence report, and any factors agreed to by the parties and must support a different sentence that better serves the purposes of this code with respect to sentencing, as set forth in section 18-1-102.5. (9) In all cases, except as provided in subsection (10) of this section, in which a sentence that is not within the presumptive range is imposed, the court shall make specific findings on the record, detailing the aggravating circumstances that constitute the reasons for varying from the presumptive sentence. (10) (a) Except for a level 1 drug felony, the presence of one or more of the following aggravating circumstances at the time of the commission of a drug felony offense requires the court, if it sentences the defendant to incarceration, to sentence the defendant to a term of at least the midpoint in the presumptive range but not more than the maximum term of the aggravated range: (I) The defendant was on parole for another felony; (II) The defendant was on probation or was on bond while awaiting sentencing following revocation of probation for another felony; (III) The defendant was under confinement, in prison, or in any correctional institution as a convicted felon, or an escapee from any correctional institution for another felony; or (IV) The defendant was on probation for or on bond while awaiting sentencing following revocation of probation for a delinquent act that would have constituted a felony if committed by an adult. (b) In any case in which one or more of the aggravating circumstances provided for in paragraph (a) of this subsection (10) exist, the provisions of subsection (9) of this section do not apply. (c) Nothing in this subsection (10) precludes the court from considering aggravating circumstances other than those stated in paragraph (a) of this subsection (10) as the basis for sentencing the defendant to a term greater than the presumptive range for the drug felony. (11) Except for a level 1 drug felony, the presence of any one or more of the following sentence-enhancing circumstances at the time of the commission of the drug felony allows the court, if it sentences the defendant to incarceration, to sentence the defendant to a term in the presumptive or aggravated range: (a) The defendant was charged with or was on bond for a felony in a previous case and the defendant was convicted of any felony in the previous case; (b) The defendant was charged with or was on bond for a delinquent act that would have constituted a felony if committed by an adult; (c) The defendant was on bond for having pled guilty to a lesser offense when the original offense charged was a felony; (d) The defendant was on bond in a juvenile prosecution under title 19, C.R.S., for having pled guilty to a lesser delinquent act when the original delinquent act charged would have constituted a felony if committed by an adult; (e) The defendant was under a deferred judgment and sentence for a delinquent act that would have constituted a felony if committed by an adult; or (f) The defendant was on parole for having been adjudicated a delinquent child for an offense that would constitute a felony if committed by an adult. (12) When it appears to the satisfaction of the court that the ends of justice and the best interest of the public, as well as the defendant, will be best served thereby, the court has the power to suspend the imposition or execution of sentence for such period and upon such terms and conditions as it may deem best; except that the court may not suspend a sentence to the minimum term of incarceration when the defendant is convicted of a level 1 drug felony. In no instance may a sentence be suspended if the defendant is ineligible for probation pursuant to section 18-1.3-201, except upon an express waiver being made by the sentencing court regarding a particular defendant upon recommendation of the district attorney and approval of such recommendation by an order of the sentencing court pursuant to section 18-1.3-201 (4). (13) Every sentence entered under this section must include consideration of restitution as required by part 6 of this article and by article 18.5 of title 16, C.R.S. SECTION 5. In Colorado Revised Statutes, 18-1.3-501, amend (1) (a) introductory portion; and add (1) (d) and (1) (e) as follows: 18-1.3-501. Misdemeanors classified - drug misdemeanors and drug petty offenses classified - penalties. (1) (a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (d) of this subsection (1), misdemeanors are divided into three classes which that are distinguished from one another by the following penalties which that are authorized upon conviction except as provided in subsection (1.5) of this section: (d) For purposes of sentencing a person convicted of a misdemeanor drug offense described in article 18 of this title, committed on or after October 1, 2013, drug misdemeanors are divided into two levels that are distinguished from one another by the following penalties and that are authorized upon conviction: Level Minimum Sentence Maximum Sentence DM1 Six months Eighteen months imprisonment, imprisonment, five hundred dollars five thousand fine, or both dollars fine, or both DM2 No imprisonment, Twelve months fifty dollars fine imprisonment, seven hundred fifty dollars fine (e) For each drug petty offense, the sentencing range is stated in the offense statute. SECTION 6. In Colorado Revised Statutes, amend 18-18-101 as follows: 18-18-101. Short title. This article shall be known and may be cited as the "Uniform Controlled Substances Act of 1992 2013". SECTION 7. In Colorado Revised Statutes, 18-18-401, amend (1) as follows: 18-18-401. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that: (a) The regulation of controlled substances in this state is important and necessary for the preservation of public safety and public health; (b) Meeting the public safety and public health needs of our communities demands a collaborative effort involving primary health care, behavioral health, criminal justice, and social service systems; (b) (c) Successful, community-based substance abuse treatment and education programs, in conjunction with mental health treatment as necessary, provide effective tools in the effort to reduce drug usage and criminal behavior in communities and enhance public safety by reducing the likelihood that drug users will have further contact with the criminal justice system. Therapeutic intervention and ongoing individualized treatment plans prepared through the use of meaningful and proven assessment tools and evaluations offer a potential an effective alternative to incarceration in appropriate circumstances and should be utilized accordingly. (c) (d) Savings recognized from reductions in incarceration rates should be dedicated toward funding community-based treatment options and other mechanisms that are accessible to all of the state's counties for the implementation and continuation of such programs. (e) The Colorado commission on criminal and juvenile justice submitted a report to the general assembly on December 15, 2012, after significant study of effective approaches to reduced drug abuse and use of criminal justice sanctions that recommends multiple changes to the criminal law relating to controlled substances. The commission continues work to develop a more effective treatment system in Colorado and continues to collect data to measure the impact of the changes to this part 4 enacted in 2013. SECTION 8. In Colorado Revised Statutes, 18-18-403.5, amend (2) as follows: 18-18-403.5. Unlawful possession of a controlled substance.

When, as a condition of the deferred sentence, the court orders the defendant to make restitution, evidence of failure to pay the said restitution shall constitute prima facie evidence of a violation. Whether a breach of condition has occurred shall be determined by the court without a jury upon application of the district attorney or a probation officer and upon notice of hearing thereon of not less than seven days to the defendant or the defendant's attorney of record. Application for entry of judgment and imposition of sentence may be made by the district attorney or a probation officer at any time within the term of the deferred judgment or within thirty-five days thereafter. The burden of proof at such the hearing shall be by a preponderance of the evidence, and the procedural safeguards required in a revocation of probation hearing shall apply. SECTION 65.
