2009 Legislative Update

We are thrilled that the 2009 General Assembly session ended on a positive note with both the Franklin County and Tazewell Drug Court gaining permission to operate.  Drug Court funding for the fourteen state funded drug courts was also maintained.

On the national level, Senator Jim Webb voiced strong support for drug courts in a December 2008 speech.
