	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 445, as amended, Hill. Revenue bond financing of prison
construction. 
   Existing law authorizes the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation, participating counties, and the State Public Works
Board (SPWB) to acquire, design, and construct local jail facilities
approved by the Board of State and Community Corrections. Existing
law authorizes the SPWB to issue revenue bonds, notes, or bond
anticipation notes in specified amounts to finance the acquisition,
design, or construction, and a reasonable construction reserve, of
approved local jail facilities, as specified.  
   This bill would require funds allocated to a county for the
construction of local jail facilities that are relinquished by the
county to which they were allocated to be reallocated to a county
that received a conditional award but never received funds, as
specified. 
   Existing law  also  authorizes the Board of State
and Community Corrections, the State Public Works Board, and a
participating county to acquire, design, and construct an adult local
criminal justice facility approved by the Board of State and
Community Corrections, or to acquire a site or sites owned by, or
subject to a lease option to purchase held by, a participating
county. Existing law authorizes the State Public Works Board to issue
up to $500,000,000 in revenue bonds, notes, or bond anticipation
notes to finance the acquisition, design, and construction of
approved adult local criminal justice facilities, and continuously
appropriates the funds for those purposes.
    This bill would authorize the State Public Works Board to approve
a project under either of the above programs after commencement of
working drawings or construction phase activities and would authorize
reimbursement of expenses incurred after the board approves the
project.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
