Sec. 2. In offering an individual an opportunity to request treatment, the court shall advise the individual of the following:
(1) If the individual requests to undergo treatment and is accepted, the individual may be placed under the supervision of the division for a period not to exceed three (3) years.
(2) During treatment the individual may be confined in an institution or, at the discretion of the division, the individual may be released for treatment or supervised aftercare in the community.
(3) If the individual completes treatment, the charge will be dismissed, but if the individual does not complete treatment, prosecution on the charge may be resumed.
(4) A request constitutes a formal waiver of the right to a speedy trial and constitutes a formal waiver of Criminal Rule 4 concerning discharge for delay in criminal trials.
(5) To make a request the individual must waive a jury trial and consent to a trial by the court or must enter a guilty plea, with the general finding to be entered by the court to be deferred until the time that prosecution may be resumed.
