	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 111, as amended, Committee on Budget. Criminal justice
realignment.
   Existing law requires the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation, participating counties, and the State Public Works
Board to acquire, design, and construct local jail facilities
approved by the Corrections Standards Authority. Existing law
authorizes the State Public Works Board to issue revenue bonds,
notes, or bond anticipation notes in the amounts of $750,000,000 and
$470,000,000 to finance the acquisition, design, or construction, and
a reasonable construction reserve, of approved local jail
facilities, as specified. The funds derived from those revenue bonds,
notes, or bond anticipation notes are continuously appropriated for
the purposes described above. Existing law requires the Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation and the Corrections Standards
Authority to give funding preference to counties that assist the
state in siting specified facilities. Existing law also prohibits the
department and the authority from awarding funds pursuant to these
provisions until specified construction progress and siting
requirements are met.
   This bill would decrease the authorization for revenue bonds,
notes, or bond anticipation notes from $750,000,000 to $617,119,000
and increase the authorization of $470,000,000 to $602,881,000. By
increasing moneys to a continuously appropriated fund, this bill
would make an appropriation. The bill would delete the provisions
requiring the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the
Corrections Standards Authority to give funding preference to
counties that assist the state in siting specified facilities and
would instead require those entities to give that preference to
counties that committed the largest percentage of inmates to state
custody in relation to the total inmate population of the department
in 2010. The bill would also delete the provision prohibiting the
department and the authority from awarding funds pursuant to these
provisions until specified construction progress and siting
requirements are met.
   The bill would appropriate the sum of $1,000 from the General Fund
to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for
purposes of state operations to be used by the Corrections Standards
Authority.
   The bill would become operative contingent upon the enactment of
SB 85 or AB 109 of the 2011-12 Regular Session.
   The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to declare a
fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special session for
that purpose. Governor Schwarzenegger issued a proclamation
declaring a fiscal emergency, and calling a special session for this
purpose, on December 6, 2010. Governor Brown issued a proclamation on
January 20, 2011, declaring and reaffirming that a fiscal emergency
exists and stating that his proclamation supersedes the earlier
proclamation for purposes of that constitutional provision.
   This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency
declared and reaffirmed by the Governor by proclamation issued on
January 20, 2011, pursuant to the California Constitution.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect as an urgency
statute and a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget
Bill.
   Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
