6. The Administrative Director of the Courts shall develop a differentiated mental health supervision case type within the Probation Division of the Superior Court for eligible servicemembers who are sentenced to a term of probation supervision. To the extent that sufficient resources are available, probation officers assigned to the specialized caseload shall be experienced in behavioral health and evidence-based therapeutic interventions specifically targeted to military culture and shall coordinate with mentors as well as federal and State case management and health care providers available to servicemembers to promote their recovery, compliance with the terms of probation and re-integration into the community, and adjustment to civilian life.
Eligible servicemembers who are sentenced to a term of probation supervision shall be screened and assigned to a differentiated mental health supervision case type pursuant to procedures developed by the Administrative Director of the Courts. A servicemember who is assigned to a differentiated mental health supervision case type shall provide written authorization for any case management or mental health service provider to release to the Probation Division and the court periodic status reports regarding the servicemember's participation, cooperation, and recovery progress.
