LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1998, as amended, Campos. Juveniles: data collection.
Existing law establishes in each county treasury a Supplemental
Law Enforcement Services Account (SLESA) to fund specified local
programs related to corrections. Existing law requires that 50% of
the moneys received into the county SLESA be allocated to implement a
comprehensive multiagency juvenile justice plan developed by the
local juvenile justice coordinating council in each county or city
and county, and approved by the Board of State and Community
Corrections (Board). Existing law requires the juvenile justice plans
to include specified assessments of services and strategies to
assist at-risk juveniles.
This bill would recast those requirements to also include, among
other things, a description of the programs, strategies, and system
enhancements proposed to be funded by the county SLESA. The bill
would delete the requirement that the Board review the plan, and
would instead require annual review and updating of the plan by the
local juvenile justice coordinating council in a format specified by
the Board, and annual reports by the county or city and county to the
county board of supervisors and to the Board on the programs,
strategies, and system enhancements funded by the county SLESA and
expenditures for those purposes. The bill would require the Board to
compile those local reports summarizing the programs, strategies, and
system enhancements and related expenditures made by each county and
city and county and to report that data annually to the Governor and
the Legislature. The bill would require the Board to post on its
Internet Web site a description or summary of the programs,
strategies, or system enhancements from the local reports and to post
the annual report. The bill would authorize the local reports and
the annual report to be consolidated with certain reports pertaining
to the Youthful Offender Block Grant program. By imposing additional
duties on local entities, this bill would impose a state-mandated
local program.
Existing law establishes, within the Board of State and
Community Corrections, Board, the California
Juvenile Justice Data Working Group, as provided. Existing law
requires the working group to, among other things, analyze the
capacities and limitations of the data systems and networks used to
collect and report state and local juvenile caseload and outcome data
and prepare and submit a report to the Legislature, as specified.
This bill would require the Board of State and Community
Corrections to prepare guidelines Board, by January 1,
2018, to develop recommendations on best practices and
standardizations for counties on how to disaggregate juvenile
justice caseload and performance and outcome data by race and
ethnicity.
Existing law requires each county to prepare and submit a Juvenile
Justice Development Plan to the Corrections Standards Authority on
or before May 1 of each year for approval.
This bill would require the Juvenile Justice Development Plan to
be submitted to the Board instead of the Corrections Standards
Authority and would recast the report requirements to include
proposed programs, strategies, or system enhancements to be funded by
the Youthful Offender Block Grant Fund. The bill would require the
Juvenile Justice Development Plan to be consolidated with the
comprehensive multiagency juvenile justice plans created by the local
councils for funding from county SLEAs, as described above. The bill
would require annual reports by counties regarding the use of the
block grant funds be submitted to the Board, instead of the
authority. The bill would require annual reports to the Governor and
the Legislature by the Board regarding the programs, strategies, and
system enhancements supported by the block grants, and posting of
those annual reports on the Board's Internet Web site. The bill would
make additional conforming changes. By imposing additional reporting
duties on local government entities, this bill would create a
state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no yes .
