(a)The district attorney may refer cases involving conduct which could be charged as a misdemeanor to the community conflict resolution program.

(1)The nature of the conduct in question.
(2)The nature of the relationship between the alleged victim and the person alleged to have committed the conduct.
(3)Whether referral to the community conflict resolution program is likely to help resolve underlying issues which are likely to result in additional conduct which could be the subject of criminal charges.
(b)No case where there has been a history of child abuse, sexual assault, or domestic violence, as that term is defined in Section 6211 of the Family Code, between the alleged victim and the person alleged to have committed the conduct, or where a protective order, as defined in Section 6218 of the Family Code, is in effect, shall be referred to the community conflict resolution program.
