	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 310, as amended, Alejo. Crime prevention.
   Existing law requires the Department of Justice to administer the
California Gang, Crime, and Violence Prevention Partnership Program,
pursuant to which, the department disburses any appropriated funds to
community organizations and nonprofit agencies for prevention and
intervention activities for at-risk youth. Existing law provides that
certain specified communities that have high incidences of gang
violence are included in the program.
   This bill would provide that the communities of  South 
Monterey  County  and Salinas be included under the program.
This bill would appropriate $3,000,000 from the General Fund to the
Department of Justice to implement the program.
   Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
