a) If it appears to the Court that alcohol or drugs played a part in the crime, a chemical dependency evaluation with a treatment plan may be ordered prior to sentencing at the discretion of the Court.
b) Upon a guilty plea, conviction, or other disposition, the Court may issue a no contact order prohibiting the defendant from having any contact with the victim irrespective of whether the victim consents.
c) Upon a guilty plea, conviction, or other disposition, the perpetrator shall be ordered to participate in a Court approved certified domestic violence perpetrator treatment program that the Court finds consists of at least the following:
1) The perpetrator shall attend and cooperate in an intake session for a domestic violence perpetrator’s treatment program.
2) The intake shall be completed by the perpetrator treatment program not later than 10 calendar days after entry of the order requiring treatment, unless the Court extends that time period for good cause shown.
3) A copy of the recommended treatment plan shall be provided to the Court.
4) In the discretion of the Court, the perpetrator’s participation in treatment sessions based on the domestic violence program’s treatment plan may be in lieu of confinement and/or fine, or the execution of any such penalty may be suspended pending completion of the treatment ordered by the Court. However, once this service is ordered it must be completed prior to dismissal unless probation is revoked.
