Sec. 1097. (1) In order to continue to participate in and successfully complete a mental health court program, an individual shall comply with all court orders, violations of which may be sanctioned at the court's discretion.
(2) If the participant is accused of a new crime, the judge shall have the discretion to terminate the participant's participation in the mental health court program.
(3) The court shall require that a participant pay all court fines, court costs, court fees, restitution, and assessments and pay all, or make substantial contributions toward payment of, the costs of the treatment and the mental health court program services provided to the participant, including, but not limited to, the costs of drug or alcohol testing or counseling. However, except as otherwise provided by law, if the court determines that the payment of court fines, court fees, or drug or alcohol testing expenses under this subsection would be a substantial hardship for the individual or would interfere with the individual's treatment, the court may waive all or part of those court fines, court fees, or drug or alcohol testing expenses. The cost of treatment shall be governed by chapter 8 of the mental health code, 1974 PA 258, MCL 330.1800 to 330.1842, if applicable.
(4) The responsible mental health agency shall notify the court of a participant's formal objection to his or her written individual plan of services developed under section 712(2) of the mental health code, 1974 PA 258, MCL 330.1712. However, the court is not obligated to take any action in response to a notice received under this subsection.
