I know some have taken the position that pre-trial diversion is best used prior to filing of an information or indictment (without the necessity of a court order). Assuming the Governor accepts SB 1006, does the amendment to art. 101.012 now mean the court must approve a pre-trial diversion agreement and that such agreement must be reached after a case is filed? Will use of these agreements change as a result of the new 2-year time frame?
