For purposes of this article and Section 34501.16, percent, by weight, of alcohol in a person's blood is based upon grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath.
In any prosecution under this subdivision, it is a rebuttable presumption that the person had 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood at the time of driving the vehicle if the person had 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood at the time of the performance of a chemical test within three hours after the driving.
(c) It is unlawful for a person who is addicted to the use of any drug to drive a vehicle.

(c) On a first conviction under this section, the court shall order the driver to participate in, and successfully complete, an alcohol or drug education and counseling program, or both an alcohol and a drug education and counseling program. Except in unusual cases where the interests of justice would be served, a finding making this section applicable to a defendant shall not be stricken pursuant to Section 1385 of the Penal Code or any other provision of law. If the court decides not to impose the additional and consecutive term, it shall specify on the court record the reasons for that order.

After the one-year suspension period, the driving privilege may be reinstated if evidence establishes to the satisfaction of the department that no grounds exist that would authorize the refusal to issue a license and that reinstatement of the driving privilege would not jeopardize the safety of the person or other persons upon the highways, and if the person gives proof of financial responsibility, as defined in Section 16430.
(c) If an accident described in subdivision (a) does result in a conviction or finding of a violation of Section 23152 or 23153, the department shall revoke the driving privilege under this section for three years from the date of commencement of the original revocation.

(2) If the person was convicted of two or more separate violations of Section 23152 or 23153, or both, that occurred within five years of the accident, the period of revocation under subdivision (c) shall be cumulative and shall be imposed consecutively with any period of restriction, suspension, or revocation imposed under Section 13352 or 13352.5.

separate occasion, or (iii) the revocation of the person's privilege
to operate a motor vehicle for a period of three years if the refusal

administer a particular test of, or to obtain a particular sample of,
the person's blood or breath, the person has the choice of those
tests, including a urine test, that are available at the facility to
which that person has been transported. In that case, the officer

medical facility and that the person's choice is limited to those
tests that are available.

for the purpose of determining the alcoholic content of that person'
s blood, and, if so requested, the arresting officer shall have the
test performed.
(2) If a blood or breath test is not available under subparagraph
(A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), or under subparagraph (A) of
paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), or under paragraph (1) of this
subdivision, the person shall submit to the remaining test in order
to determine the percent, by weight, of alcohol in the person's
blood. If both the blood and breath tests are unavailable, the person

of his or her urine and shall submit to a urine test.
(e) If the person, who has been arrested for a violation of
Section 23140, 23152, or 23153, refuses or fails to complete a
chemical test or tests, or requests that a blood or urine test be
taken, the peace officer, acting on behalf of the department, shall
serve the notice of the order of suspension or revocation of the
person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle personally on the
arrested person. The notice shall be on a form provided by the
department.
(f) If the peace officer serves the notice of the order of
suspension or revocation of the person's privilege to operate a motor
vehicle, the peace officer shall take possession of all driver's
licenses issued by this state that are held by the person. The
temporary driver's license shall be an endorsement on the notice of
the order of suspension and shall be valid for 30 days from the date
of arrest.
(g) (1) The peace officer shall immediately forward a copy of the
completed notice of suspension or revocation form and any driver's
license taken into possession under subdivision (f), with the report
required by Section 13380, to the department. If the person submitted
to a blood or urine test, the peace officer shall forward the
results immediately to the appropriate forensic laboratory. The
forensic laboratory shall forward the results of the chemical tests
to the department within 15 calendar days of the date of the arrest.
(2) (A) Notwithstanding any other law, a document containing data
prepared and maintained in the governmental forensic laboratory
computerized database system that is electronically transmitted or
retrieved through public or private computer networks to or by the
department is the best available evidence of the chemical test
results in all administrative proceedings conducted by the
department. In addition, any other official record that is maintained
in the governmental forensic laboratory, relates to a chemical test
analysis prepared and maintained in the governmental forensic
laboratory computerized database system, and is electronically
transmitted and retrieved through a public or private computer
network to or by the department is admissible as evidence in the
department's administrative proceedings. In order to be admissible as
evidence in administrative proceedings, a document described in this
subparagraph shall bear a certification by the employee of the
department who retrieved the document certifying that the information
was received or retrieved directly from the computerized database
system of a governmental forensic laboratory and that the document
accurately reflects the data received or retrieved.
(B) Notwithstanding any other law, the failure of an employee of
the department to certify under subparagraph (A) is not a public
offense.
(h) A preliminary alcohol screening test that indicates the
presence or concentration of alcohol based on a breath sample in
order to establish reasonable cause to believe the person was driving
a vehicle in violation of Section 23140, 23152, or 23153 is a field
sobriety test and may be used by an officer as a further
investigative tool.
(i) If the officer decides to use a preliminary alcohol screening
test, the officer shall advise the person that he or she is
requesting that person to take a preliminary alcohol screening test
to assist the officer in determining if that person is under the
influence of alcohol or drugs, or a combination of alcohol and drugs.
The person's obligation to submit to a blood, breath, or urine test,
as required by this section, for the purpose of determining the
alcohol or drug content of that person's blood, is not satisfied by
the person submitting to a preliminary alcohol screening test. The
officer shall advise the person of that fact and of the person's
right to refuse to take the preliminary alcohol screening test.
No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of

that may be incurred by a local agency or school district will be
incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction,
eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime
or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government
Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.

(a) Notwithstanding Sections 13202.5, 13203, and 13352, a
court may order a 10-year revocation of the driver's license of a
person who has been convicted of three or more separate violations of
Section 23152 or 23153, the last of which is punishable under

or more times to comply with any requirement for the maintenance or
calibration of the ignition interlock device. The privilege shall
remain revoked for the remaining period of the original revocation
and until all reinstatement requirements are met.
(d) This section shall become operative on January 1, 2012.
(a) The department shall review the determination made
pursuant to Section 13353, 13353.1, or 13353.2 relating to any person
who has received a notice of an order of suspension or revocation of
the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle pursuant to
Section 13353, 13353.1, 13353.2, 23612, or 13382. The department
shall consider the sworn report submitted by the peace officer
pursuant to Section 23612 or 13380 and any other evidence
accompanying the report.
(b) (1) If the department determines in the review of a
determination made under Section 13353 or 13353.1, by a preponderance
of the evidence, all of the following facts, the department shall
sustain the order of suspension or revocation:
(A) That the peace officer had reasonable cause to believe that
the person had been driving a motor vehicle in violation of Section
23136, 23140, 23152, 23153, or 23154.
(B) That the person was placed under arrest or, if the alleged
violation was of Section 23136, that the person was lawfully
detained.
(C) That the person refused or failed to complete the chemical
test or tests after being requested by a peace officer.
(D) That, except for the persons described in Section 23612 who
are incapable of refusing, the person had been told that his or her
privilege to operate a motor vehicle would be suspended or revoked if
he or she refused to submit to, and complete, the required testing.
If the department determines, by a preponderance of the evidence,
that any of those facts were not proven, the department shall rescind
the order of suspension or revocation and, provided the person is
otherwise eligible, return or reissue the person's driver's license
pursuant to Section 13551. The determination of the department upon
administrative review is final unless a hearing is requested pursuant
to Section 13558.
(2) If the department determines in the review of a determination
made under Section 13353.2, by the preponderance of the evidence, all
of the following facts, the department shall sustain the order of
suspension or revocation, or if the person is under 21 years of age
and does not yet have a driver's license, the department shall delay
issuance of that license for one year:
(A) That the peace officer had reasonable cause to believe that
the person had been driving a motor vehicle in violation of Section
23136, 23140, 23152, 23153, or 23154.
(B) That the person was placed under arrest or, if the alleged
violation was of Section 23136, that the person was lawfully
detained.

following circumstances:
(i) When the person had 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of
alcohol in his or her blood.
(ii) When the person was under the age of 21 years and had 0.05
percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood.
(iii) When the person was under 21 years of age and had a
blood-alcohol concentration of 0.01 percent or greater, as measured
by a preliminary alcohol screening test, or other chemical test.
(iv) When the person was driving a vehicle that requires a
commercial driver's license and the person had 0.04 percent or more,
by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood.
(v) When the person was on probation for a violation of Section
23152 or 23153 and had a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.01 percent
or greater, as measured by a preliminary alcohol screening test or
other chemical test.
If the department determines that any of those facts were not
proven by the preponderance of the evidence, the department shall
rescind the order of suspension or revocation and, provided that the
person is otherwise eligible, return or reissue the person's driver's
license pursuant to Section 13551. For persons under 21 years of
age, the determination of the department pursuant to this paragraph
is final unless a hearing is requested within 10 days of the
determination, which hearing shall be conducted according to the
provisions of Section 13558. For persons over 21 years of age, the
determination of the department upon administrative review is final
unless a hearing is requested pursuant to Section 13558.
(c) The department shall make the determination upon
administrative review before the effective date of the order of
suspension or revocation.
(d) The administrative review does not stay the suspension or
revocation of a person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle. If the
department is unable to make a determination on administrative
review within the time limit in subdivision (c), the department shall
stay the effective date of the order of suspension or revocation
pending the determination and, if the person's driver's license has
been taken by the peace officer pursuant to Section 13388, 13389,
23612, or 13382, the department shall notify the person before the
expiration date of the temporary permit issued pursuant to Section
13388, 13389, 23612, or 13382, or the expiration date of any previous
extension issued pursuant to this subdivision, in a form that
permits the person to establish to any peace officer that his or her
privilege to operate a motor vehicle is not suspended or revoked.
(e) A person may request and be granted a hearing pursuant to
Section 13558 without first receiving the results of an
administrative review pursuant to this section. After receiving a
request for a hearing, the department is not required to conduct an
administrative review of the same matter pursuant to this section.
(f) A determination of facts by the department under this section
has no collateral estoppel effect on a subsequent criminal
prosecution and does not preclude litigation of those same facts in
the criminal proceeding.
(a) It is unlawful for a person who is on probation for a
violation of Section 23152 or 23153 to operate a motor vehicle at any
time with a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.01 percent or greater,
as measured by a preliminary alcohol screening test or other chemical
test.
(b) A person may be found to be in violation of subdivision (a) if
the person was, at the time of driving, on probation for a violation
of Section 23152 or 23153, and the trier of fact finds that the
person had consumed an alcoholic beverage and was driving a vehicle
with a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.01 percent or greater, as
measured by a preliminary alcohol screening test or other chemical
test.
(c) (1) A person who is on probation for a violation of Section
23152 or 23153 who drives a motor vehicle is deemed to have given his
or her consent to a preliminary alcohol screening test or other
chemical test for the purpose of determining the presence of alcohol
in the person, if lawfully detained for an alleged violation of
subdivision (a).
(2) The testing shall be incidental to a lawful detention and
administered at the direction of a peace officer having reasonable
cause to believe the person is driving a motor vehicle in violation
of subdivision (a).
(3) The person shall be told that his or her failure to submit to,
or the failure to complete, a preliminary alcohol screening test or
other chemical test as requested will result in the suspension or
revocation of the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle for a
period of one year to three years, as provided in Section 13353.1.
(a) No person shall have in his or her possession on his or her person, while driving a motor vehicle upon a highway or on lands, as described in subdivision (b) of Section 23220, any bottle, can, or other receptacle, containing any alcoholic beverage which has been opened, or a seal broken, or the contents of which have been partially removed.
(b) Except as authorized by law, every person who possesses, while driving a motor vehicle upon a highway or on lands, as described in subdivision (b) of Section 23220, not more than one avoirdupois ounce of marijuana, other than concentrated cannabis as defined by Section 11006.5 of the Health and Safety Code, is guilty of an infraction punishable by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars ($100).
(a) It is unlawful for a person to knowingly rent, lease, or lend a motor vehicle to another person known to have had his or her driving privilege restricted as provided in Section 13352, 23575, or 23700, unless the vehicle is equipped with a functioning, certified ignition interlock device. A person, whose driving privilege is restricted pursuant to Section 13352, 23575, or 23700 shall notify any other person who rents, leases, or loans a motor vehicle to him or her of the driving restriction imposed under that section.
(b) It is unlawful for any person whose driving privilege is restricted pursuant to Section 13352, 23575, or 23700 to request or solicit any other person to blow into an ignition interlock device or to start a motor vehicle equipped with the device for the purpose of providing the person so restricted with an operable motor vehicle.
(c) It is unlawful to blow into an ignition interlock device or to start a motor vehicle equipped with the device for the purpose of providing an operable motor vehicle to a person whose driving privilege is restricted pursuant to Section 13352, 23575, or 23700.
(d) It is unlawful to remove, bypass, or tamper with, an ignition interlock device.
(e) It is unlawful for any person whose driving privilege is restricted pursuant to Section 13352, 23575, or 23700 to operate any vehicle not equipped with a functioning ignition interlock device.
(f) Any person convicted of a violation of this section shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than six months or by a fine of not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment.
(g)(1) If any person whose driving privilege is restricted pursuant to Section 13352 is convicted of a violation of subdivision (e), the court shall notify the Department of Motor Vehicles, which shall immediately terminate the restriction and shall suspend or revoke the person's driving privilege for the remaining period of the originating suspension or revocation and until all reinstatement requirements in Section 13352 are met.
(2) If any person who is restricted pursuant to subdivision (a) or (l) of Section 23575 or Section 23700 is convicted of a violation of subdivision (e), the department shall suspend the person's driving privilege for one year from the date of the conviction.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a vehicle in which an ignition interlock device has been installed is impounded, the manufacturer or installer of the device shall have the right to remove the device from the vehicle during normal business hours. No charge shall be imposed for the removal of the device nor shall the manufacturer or installer be liable for any removal, towing, impoundment, storage, release, or administrative costs or penalties associated with the impoundment. Upon request, the person seeking to remove the device shall present documentation to justify removal of the device from the vehicle. Any damage to the vehicle resulting from the removal of the device is the responsibility of the person removing it.
(a) Denial of admission—
(1) Prohibiting admission of drug criminals. The PHA (Public Housing Administration) must prohibit admission to the program of an applicant for three years from the date of eviction if a household member has been evicted from federally assisted housing for drug-related criminal activity. However, the PHA may admit the household if the PHA determines:
(A) That the evicted household member who engaged in drug-related criminal activity has successfully completed a supervised drug rehabilitation program approved by the PHA; or
(B) That the circumstances leading to eviction no longer exist (for example, the criminal household member has died or is imprisoned).
(ii) The PHA must establish standards that prohibit admission if:
(A) The PHA determines that any household member is currently engaging in illegal use of a drug;
(B) The PHA determines that it has reasonable cause to believe that a household member's illegal drug use or a pattern of illegal drug use may threaten the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents; or
(C) Any household member has ever been convicted of drug-related criminal activity for manufacture or production of methamphetamine on the premises of federally assisted housing.
(2) Prohibiting admission of other criminals—
(i) Mandatory prohibition. The PHA must establish standards that prohibit admission to the program if any member of the household is subject to a lifetime registration requirement under a State sex offender registration program. In this screening of applicants, the PHA must perform criminal history background checks necessary to determine whether any household member is subject to a lifetime sex offender registration requirement in the State where the housing is located and in other States where the household members are known to have resided.
(ii) Permissive prohibitions. (A) The PHA may prohibit admission of a household to the program if the PHA determines that any household member is currently engaged in, or has engaged in during a reasonable time before the admission:
(1) Drug-related criminal activity;
(2) Violent criminal activity;
(3) Other criminal activity which may threaten the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents or persons residing in the immediate vicinity; or
(4) Other criminal activity which may threaten the health or safety of the owner, property management staff, or persons performing a contract administration function or responsibility on behalf of the PHA (including a PHA employee or a PHA contractor, subcontractor or agent).
(B) The PHA may establish a period before the admission decision during which an applicant must not to have engaged in the activities specified in paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section (“reasonable time”).
(C) If the PHA previously denied admission to an applicant because a member of the household engaged in criminal activity, the PHA may reconsider the applicant if the PHA has sufficient evidence that the members of the household are not currently engaged in, and have not engaged in, such criminal activity during a reasonable period, as determined by the PHA, before the admission decision.
(1) The PHA would have “sufficient evidence” if the household member submitted a certification that she or he is not currently engaged in and has not engaged in such criminal activity during the specified period and provided supporting information from such sources as a probation officer, a landlord, neighbors, social service agency workers and criminal records, which the PHA verified.
(2) For purposes of this section, a household member is “currently engaged in” criminal activity if the person has engaged in the behavior recently enough to justify a reasonable belief that the behavior is current.
(3) Prohibiting admission of alcohol abusers. The PHA must establish standards that prohibit admission to the program if the PHA determines that it has reasonable cause to believe that a household member's abuse or pattern of abuse of alcohol may threaten the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents.
(b) Terminating assistance—
(1) Terminating assistance for drug criminals. The PHA must establish standards that allow the PHA to terminate assistance for a family under the program if the PHA determines that:
(A) Any household member is currently engaged in any illegal use of a drug; or
(B) A pattern of illegal use of a drug by any household member interferes with the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents.
(ii) The PHA must immediately terminate assistance for a family under the program if the PHA determines that
any member of the household has ever been convicted of drug-related criminal activity for manufacture or production of methamphetamine on
the premises of federally assisted housing.
(iii) The PHA must establish standards that allow the PHA to terminate assistance under the program for a family if the PHA determines that any family member has violated the family's obligation under § 982.551 not to engage in any drug-related criminal activity.
(2) Terminating assistance for other criminals. The PHA must establish standards that allow the PHA to terminate assistance under the program for a family if the PHA determines that any household member has violated the family's obligation under § 982.551 not to engage in violent criminal activity.
(3) Terminating assistance for alcohol abusers. The PHA must establish standards that allow termination of assistance for a family if the PHA determines that a household member's abuse or pattern of abuse of alcohol may threaten the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents.
(c) Evidence of criminal activity. The PHA may terminate assistance for criminal activity by a household member as authorized in this section if the PHA determines, based on a preponderance of the evidence, that the household member has engaged in the activity, regardless of whether the household member has been arrested or convicted for such activity.
(d) Use of criminal record— (1) Denial. If a PHA proposes to deny admission for criminal activity as shown by a criminal record, the PHA must provide the subject of the record and the applicant with a copy of the criminal record. The PHA must give the family an opportunity to dispute the accuracy and relevance of that record, in the informal review process in accordance with § 982.554. (See part 5, subpart J for provision concerning access to criminal records.)
(2) Termination of assistance. If a PHA proposes to terminate assistance for criminal activity as shown by a criminal record, the PHA must notify the household of the proposed action to be based on the information and must provide the subject of the record and the tenant with a copy of the criminal record. The PHA must give the family an opportunity to dispute the accuracy and relevance of that record in accordance with § 982.555.
(3) Cost of obtaining criminal record. The PHA may not pass along to the tenant the costs of a criminal records check.
(e) In cases of criminal activity related to domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, the victim protections of 24 CFR part 5, subpart L, apply.
Disqualification for unemployment benefits due to termination of employment for absence due to incarceration and conviction.
(a) If the employment of an individual is terminated due to his absence from work for a period in excess of 24 hours because of his incarceration and he is convicted of the offense for which he was incarcerated or of any lesser included offense, he shall be deemed to have left his work voluntarily without good cause for the purposes of Section 1256. A plea or verdict of guilty, or a conviction following a plea of nolo contendere, is deemed to be a conviction within the meaning of this section irrespective of whether an order granting probation or other order is made suspending the imposition of the sentence or whether sentence is imposed but execution thereof is suspended.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this division, any determination made prior to a conviction or other final disposition of the criminal complaint or accusation by the court as to whether an individual who is terminated due to his absence from work because of incarceration voluntarily leaves without good cause may, if no appeal has been taken from the determination, for good cause be reconsidered by the department during the benefit year or extended duration period to which the determination relates. Notice of any reconsidered determination shall be given to the claimant and any employer or employing unit which received notice under Section 1328 or 1331, and the claimant or employer may appeal therefrom in the manner prescribed in Section 1328.
(a) An individual shall be ineligible for benefits under this part for any day during which he or she is incarcerated in any federal, state, or municipal penal institution, jail, medical facility, public or private hospital, or in any other place because of a criminal violation of a federal, state, or other municipal law or ordinance. For purposes of this section, "incarceration" includes any time spent in the custody of law enforcement authorities upon adjudication or conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) This section shall apply only with respect to periods of incarceration commencing on or after January 1, 1994.
(a) General. No monthly benefits will be paid to any individual for any month any part of which the individual is confined in a jail, prison,
or other penal institution or correctional facility for conviction of a felony. This rule applies to disability benefits (§ 404.315) and
child's benefits based on disability (§ 404.350) effective with benefits payable for months beginning on or after October 1, 1980. For all other monthly benefits, this rule is effective with benefits payable for months beginning on or after May 1, 1983. However, it applies only to the prisoner; benefit payments to any other person who is entitled on the basis of the prisoner's wages and self-employment income are payable as though the prisoner were receiving benefits.
(b) Felonious offenses. An offense will be considered a felony if-
(1) It is a felony under applicable law: or
(2) In a jurisdiction which does not classify any crime as a felony, it is an offense punishable by death or imprisonment for a term exceeding one year.
(c) Confinement. In general, a jail, prison, or other penal institution or correctional facility is a facility which is under the control and jurisdiction of the agency in charge of the penal system or in which convicted criminals can be incarcerated. Confinement in such a facility continues as long as the individual is under a sentence of confinement and has not been released due to parole or pardon. An individual is considered confined even though he or she is temporarily or intermittently outside of that facility (e.g., on work release, attending school, or hospitalized).
(d) Vocational rehabilitation exception. The nonpayment provision of paragraph (a) of this section does not apply if a prisoner who is entitled to benefits on the basis of disability is actively and satisfactorily participating in a rehabilitation program which has been specifically approved for the individual by court of law. In addition, the Commissioner must determine that the program is expected to result in the individual being able to do substantial gainful activity upon release and within a reasonable time. No benefits will be paid to the prisoner for any month prior to the approval of the program.

(II) a verdict or finding that the individual is not guilty of such an offense by reason of insanity,
(III) a finding that such individual is incompetent to stand trial under an allegation of such an offense, or
(IV) a similar verdict or finding with respect to such an offense based on similar factors (such as a mental disease, a mental defect, or mental incompetence),
(iii) immediately upon completion of confinement as described in clause (i) pursuant to conviction of a criminal offense an element of which is sexual activity, is confined by court order in an institution at public expense pursuant to a finding that the individual is a sexually dangerous person or a sexual predator or a similar finding,
(iv) is fleeing to avoid prosecution, or custody or confinement after conviction, under the laws of the place from which the person flees, for a crime, or an attempt to commit a crime, which is a felony under the laws of the place from which the person flees, or, in jurisdictions that do not define crimes as felonies, is punishable by death or imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year regardless of the actual sentence imposed, or
(v) is violating a condition of probation or parole imposed under Federal or State law.
(B)(i) For purposes of clause (i) of subparagraph (A), an individual shall not be considered confined in an institution comprising a jail, prison, or other penal institution or correctional facility during any month throughout which such individual is residing outside such institution at no expense (other than the cost of monitoring) to such institution or the penal system or to any agency to which the penal system has transferred jurisdiction over the individual.

(iii) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the Commissioner shall, for good cause shown, pay the individual benefits that have been withheld or would otherwise be withheld pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) of subparagraph (A) if the Commissioner determines that-
(I) a court of competent jurisdiction has found the individual not guilty of the criminal offense, dismissed the charges relating to the criminal offense, vacated the warrant for arrest of the individual for the criminal offense, or issued any similar exonerating order (or taken similar exonerating action), or
(II) the individual was erroneously implicated in connection with the criminal offense by reason of identity fraud.
(iv) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the Commissioner may, for good cause shown based on mitigating circumstances, pay the individual benefits that have been withheld or would otherwise be withheld pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) of subparagraph (A) if the Commissioner determines that-
(I) the offense described in clause (iv) or underlying the imposition of the probation or parole described in clause (v) was nonviolent and not drug-related, and
(II) in the case of an individual from whom benefits have been withheld or otherwise would be withheld pursuant to subparagraph (A)(v), the action that resulted in the violation of a condition of probation or parole was nonviolent and not drug-related.

of the Health and Safety Code, or subdivision (b) of Section 23222 of the Vehicle Code, or Section 11358 of the
Health and Safety Code if the marijuana planted, cultivated, harvested, dried, or processed is for personal use,
or Section 11368 of the Health and Safety Code if the narcotic drug was secured by a fictitious prescription and
is for the personal use of the defendant and was not sold or furnished to another, or subdivision (d) of
Section 653f if the solicitation was for acts directed to personal use only, or Section 381 or subdivision (f) of
Section 647 of the Penal Code, if for being under the influence of a controlled substance, or Section 4060 of the
Business and Professions Code, and it appears to the prosecuting attorney that, except as provided in
subdivision (b) of Section 11357 of the Health and Safety Code, all of the following apply to the defendant:
(1) The defendant has no conviction for any offense involving controlled substances prior to the alleged commission of the charged offense.
(2) The offense charged did not involve a crime of violence or threatened violence.
(3) There is no evidence of a violation relating to narcotics or restricted dangerous drugs other than a violation of the sections listed in this subdivision.
(4) The defendant's record does not indicate that probation or parole has ever been revoked without thereafter being completed.
(5) The defendant's record does not indicate that he or she has successfully completed or been terminated from diversion or deferred entry of judgment pursuant to this chapter within five years prior to the alleged commission of the charged offense.
(6) The defendant has no prior felony conviction within five years prior to the alleged commission of the charged offense.
(b) The prosecuting attorney shall review his or her file to determine whether or not paragraphs (1) to (6), inclusive, of subdivision (a) apply to the defendant. Upon the agreement of the prosecuting attorney, law enforcement, the public defender, and the presiding judge of the criminal division of the superior court, or a judge designated by the presiding judge, this procedure shall be completed as soon as possible after the initial filing of the charges. If the defendant is found eligible, the prosecuting attorney shall file with the court a declaration in writing or state for the record the grounds upon which the determination is based, and shall make this information available to the defendant and his or her attorney. This procedure is intended to allow the court to set the hearing for deferred entry of judgment at the arraignment. If the defendant is found ineligible for deferred entry of judgment, the prosecuting attorney shall file with the court a declaration in writing or state for the record the grounds upon which the determination is based, and shall make this information available to the defendant and his or her attorney. The sole remedy of a defendant who is found ineligible for deferred entry of judgment is a postconviction appeal.

The defendant may request to be referred to a program in any county, as long as that program meets the criteria set forth in this subdivision.
(d) Deferred entry of judgment for a violation of Section 11368 of the Health and Safety Code shall not prohibit any administrative agency from taking disciplinary action against a licensee or from denying a license. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to expand or restrict the provisions of Section 1000.4.
(e) Any defendant who is participating in a program referred to in this section may be required to undergo analysis of his or her urine for the purpose of testing for the presence of any drug as part of the program. However, urine analysis results shall not be admissible as a basis for any new criminal prosecution or proceeding.
