§ 3816. Requirements for driving under influence offenders. (a) Evaluation using Court Reporting Network.-- In addition to any other requirements of the court, every person convicted of a violation
of section 3802 (relating to driving under influence of alcohol or controlled substance)
and every person offered Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition as a result of a charge
of a violation of section 3802 shall, prior to sentencing or receiving Accelerated
Rehabilitative Disposition or other preliminary disposition, be evaluated using Court
Reporting Network instruments issued by the department and any other additional evaluation
techniques deemed appropriate by the court to determine the extent of the person's
involvement with alcohol or controlled substances and to assist the court in determining
what sentencing, probation or conditions of Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition
would benefit the person or the public. (b) Court-ordered intervention or treatment.-- A record shall be submitted to the department as to whether the court did or did not
order a defendant to attend drug and alcohol treatment pursuant to the requirements
of sections 3804 (relating to penalties), 3814 (relating to drug and alcohol assessments)
and 3815 (relating to mandatory sentencing). If the court orders treatment, a report
shall be forwarded to the department as to whether the defendant successfully completed
the program. If a defendant fails to successfully complete a program of treatment
as ordered by the court, the suspension shall remain in effect until the department
is notified by the court that the defendant has successfully completed treatment and
the defendant is otherwise eligible for restoration of his operating privilege. In
order to implement the recordkeeping requirements of this section, the department
and the court shall work together to exchange pertinent information about a defendant's
case, including attendance and completion of treatment or failure to complete treatment. Cross References. Section 3816 is referred to in sections 1541, 3807, 3814 of this title.
