Upon an offer of admission into drug court and upon the defendant's acceptance of the offer to enter drug court, the referring judge shall complete an Order of Admission to Drug Court admitting the defendant. If the individual is facing criminal charges and has yet to enter a guilty plea, then his or her admission into drug court is conditioned upon the prosecution's recommendation of diversion or an alternative sentence in lieu of incarceration. The case shall remain with or be assigned to a judge who conducts drug court in the circuit or district where the defendant's underlying court case is pending. The defendant shall be required to sign the Agreement of Participation. The Order of Admission to Drug Court will require the defendant to report to the assigned circuit or district court judge who will conduct drug court.
