	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2026, Hancock.  Youth pilot program:  extension.
   Existing law authorizes designated participating counties to
establish a child and family interagency coordinating council to
implement various aspects of a youth pilot program.  Under the pilot
program, various children's services funds may be transferred to a
designated county fund for services for children and families.
Existing law requires the program to be implemented on January 1,
1995, July 1, 1995, or January 1, 1996, and terminates the program on
July 1, 2004.
   This bill would, with certain exceptions, extend the operative
duration of the youth pilot program to January 1, 2009.
  This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 18987.5 of the Welfare and Institutions Code is
amended to read:
   18987.5.  Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, this
chapter shall become inoperative on January 1, 2009, and, as of
January 1, 2010, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that
becomes operative on or before January 1, 2010, deletes or extends
the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed.
  SEC. 2.  This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate
effect.  The facts constituting the necessity are:
   In order to timely implement the continuation of the youth pilot
program provided for pursuant to Chapter 12.85 (commencing with
Section 18987) of Part 6 of Division 9 of the Welfare and
Institutions Code by this act, it is necessary that this act take
effect immediately.
