Proposition 36Referral Form

San Mateo Superior Court · Adoption

Last updated July 19, 2026

This form is used to refer people who have been convicted of certain drug or theft crimes to treatment programs instead of traditional jail sentences, as allowed under California's Proposition 36 law. People who have been arrested or charged with qualifying drug possession or theft offenses would need this form to potentially get help with addiction or mental health treatment rather than face incarceration.
