Community-Based Sentencing Alternatives for Caretakers Act of 2021

Summary

Community-Based Sentencing Alternatives for Caretakers Act of 2021 This bill requires sentencing courts to consider a community-based alternative sentence in the case of certain individuals who are caretakers (e.g., parents). Current law sets forth seven factors that sentencing courts must consider when imposing a sentence. This bill establishes a new, eighth factor that courts must consider when imposing a sentence on a caretaker for a nonviolent offense. Specifically, courts must consider a community-based alternative sentence, which is a sentence that may require the defendant to complete or participate in community-based programming, counseling, or treatment.
