	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1512, as amended, Stone. Corrections: inmate transfers.
   Existing law, until July 1, 2015, authorizes the board of
supervisors of a  county,   county  where,
in the opinion of the county sheriff or the director of the county
department of corrections, adequate facilities are not available for
prisoners, to enter into an agreement with any other county whose
county adult detention facilities are adequate for and accessible to
the first county and requires the concurrence of the receiving county'
s sheriff or the director of the county department of corrections.
Existing law also requires a county entering into a transfer
agreement with another county to report annually to the Board of
State and Community Corrections on the number of offenders who
otherwise would be under that county's jurisdiction but who are now
being housed in another county's facility and the reason for needing
to house the offenders outside the county.
   This bill would extend the operation of those provisions until
July 1,  2020.   2018, and would clarify that
the agreement between counties would be to permit commitment of
sentenced misdemeanants, felons sentenced to serve a term in a county
jail, and any person required to serve a term of imprisonment in
county adult detention facilities as a condition of probation. 
   Existing law, operative July 1, 2015, authorizes a county where
adequate facilities are not available for prisoners who would
otherwise be confined in its county adult detention facilities to
enter into an agreement with the board or boards of supervisors of
one or more nearby counties whose county adult detention facilities
are adequate for, and are readily accessible from, the first county
for the commitment of misdemeanants and persons required to serve a
term of imprisonment in a county adult detention facility as a
condition of probation in jail in a county that is party to the
agreement. Existing law, operative July 1, 2015, requires these
agreements to provide for the support of a person so committed or
transferred by the county from which he or she is committed.
   This bill would  provide that   instead make
 those provisions  become  operative July 1,
 2020.   2018. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
