A petition to increase the number of members of the board of directors of any district providing at least 225 hospital beds from five to seven members may be signed and filed with the board of directors at least three months prior to any general hospital district election by registered voters residing within any such local hospital district, equal in number to at least 5 percent of the number of votes cast in that district for the office of Governor at the last preceding election at which a Governor was elected. Upon receipt of this petition the board of directors shall prepare a measure to be printed on the ballots used at the next general hospital district election. The measure shall be printed on the ballots substantially as follows:

“Shall the number of directors of the ____ Hospital District be increased from five to seven?”, with the words “Yes” and “No” so printed in connection therewith that the voters may express their choice.

The county elections official of the organizing county shall accept arguments for and against the measure to be mailed to each registered voter in the district, in accordance with the procedure specified in Article 3 (commencing with Section 9160) of Chapter 2 of Division 9 of the Elections Code.

Under the measure, in the manner provided in this article, there shall be printed the names of those persons who have been nominated for the additional directorships.

The returns of the election shall be canvassed and declared as at other general hospital district elections. If a majority of the votes cast in the election are in favor of the measure the board of directors shall by resolution declare that the lawful number of directors of the district has been increased by the designated number of members. If a majority of the votes cast in the election are opposed to the measure, no similar measure shall be placed on the ballot until the next general hospital district election.

(b) Notwithstanding any other law, a positive test for use of a controlled substance, any other drug that may not be possessed without a prescription, or alcohol shall not be grounds for dismissal from the program, unless the person is not making progress in the program. The court shall consider a report or recommendation of the treatment provider in making this determination. It shall be presumed that a person engaged in a program is making progress, unless that presumption is defeated by clear and convincing evidence. The person may offer evidence or an argument that he or she would benefit from and make progress in a different program or mode. If the court so finds, it may place the person in a different treatment program.

(c) Notwithstanding any other law, the following persons are excluded from participation in the program under this section:

(1) A person with a history of violence that indicates that he or she presents a current risk of violent behavior currently or during the treatment program. This ground for exclusion shall be established by clear and convincing evidence.

(2) A person required to register as a sex offender pursuant to Section 290, unless the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the person does not present a substantial risk of committing sexual offenses currently or through the course of the program and the person would benefit from the program, including that treatment would reduce the risk that the person would sexually reoffend.

(3) A person who the treatment provider concludes is unamenable to any and all forms of drug treatment. The defendant may present evidence that he or she is amenable to treatment and the court may retain the person in the program if the court finds that the person is amenable to treatment through a different provider or a different mode of treatment.

(d) Notwithstanding any other law, a prior conviction for an offense involving a controlled substance or drug that may not be possessed without a prescription, including a substance listed in Section 11357.5 or 11375.5, is not grounds for exclusion from the program, unless the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the person is likely to engage in drug commerce for financial gain, rather than for purposes of obtaining a drug or drugs for personal use.
