An Act to amend the Criminal Code and the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (fetal alcohol disorder) = Loi modifiant le Code criminel et la Loi sur le système correctionnel et la mise en liberté...: XB421-235/1-PDF
This enactment amends the Criminal Code to establish a procedure for assessing individuals who are involved in the criminal justice system and who may suffer from a fetal alcohol disorder. It requires the court to consider, as a mitigating factor in sentencing, a determination that the offender suffers from a fetal alcohol disorder. The enactment also requires the court to make orders to require individuals who are determined to suffer from a fetal alcohol disorder to follow an external support plan to ensure that they receive the necessary support to facilitate their successful reintegration into society. Lastly, it makes consequential amendments to the Corrections and Conditional Release Act.
