	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 94, as amended, Committee on Budget. Criminal justice
realignment.
   Existing law authorizes the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation (CDCR), participating counties, and the State Public
Works Board (SPWB) to acquire, design, and construct local jail
facilities approved by the Corrections Standards Authority (CSA).
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. Existing
law requires a minimum of 25% in county matching funds for projects
funded under these provisions and requires the CDCR and CSA to give
funding preference to counties that assist the state in siting
reentry facilities, as specified. AB 111 of the 2011-12 Regular
Session, if it becomes operative, instead requires that the CDCR and
the CSA give funding preference to counties that committed the
largest percentage of inmates to state custody in relation to the
total inmate population of CDCR in 2010.
   This bill would, if AB 111 of the 2011-12 Regular Session becomes
operative, authorize counties that have received a conditional award
under one specified jail facilities financing program to relinquish
that award and reapply for a conditional award under a separate
financing program, as specified. The bill would lower to 10% the
required county contribution and additionally require the CDCR and
CSA to give funding preference to those counties that relinquish
those specified local jail construction conditional awards and agree
to continue to assist the state in siting reentry facilities, as
specified. The bill would cap at $100,000,000 the amount a county may
receive in proceeds from SPWB's issuance of bonds, notes, or bond
anticipation notes under those specified provisions.
   This bill would appropriate $1,000 from the General Fund to the
CDCR for purposes of state operations to be used by the CSA in the
2011-12 fiscal year.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
 an urgency statute and  a bill providing for
appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
   Vote:  2/3   majority  . Appropriation:
yes. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.
