XIII, Sec. 10 Transfers between specialty court programs

If someone is in a specialty court program, like drug court, mental health court, or veterans treatment court, they can transfer to a different specialty court program if needed. This allows the court to move a person into the program that fits their situation best, even after their case has already started in one of these programs.

If switching programs also means switching to a different court location, the transfer has to follow the specific steps laid out in Section 9 of these rules. In other words, changing programs is allowed, but if it involves changing courthouses too, there's an extra process that has to be followed to make that happen properly.
