(a) Every local prosecutor with jurisdiction to prosecute violations of Section 272 shall review annually any diversion program established pursuant to this chapter, and no program shall commence or continue without the approval of the local prosecutor. No person shall be diverted under a program unless it has been approved by the local prosecutor. Nothing in this subdivision shall authorize the prosecutor to determine whether a particular defendant shall be diverted.
(b) As used in this chapter, “pretrial diversion” means the procedure of postponing prosecution either temporarily or permanently at any point in the judicial process from the point at which the accused is charged until adjudication.
