This bill would also extend the sunset date on the Social Innovation Financing Program by two years to January 1, 2022. Fiscal Impact: Minor workload impact to the BSCC to administer the specified grant program and establish the Executive Steering Committee, as Proposition 47 already requires the BSCC to administer a grant program. Potentially significant increase in annual grant awards issued AB 1056 (Atkins) Page 1 of ? (Federal/State/Private funds), as the bill creates a new fund, the Second Chance Fund, which is continuously appropriated, and may receive funds not only from the savings resulting from Proposition 47, but also from other federal, state, local, or private sources. Potential future cost pressure (Special Fund/General Fund) due to the extension of the sunset date. According to the BSCC, $5 million was appropriated from the Recidivism Reduction Fund for this program, with funding estimated to be fully allocated to the three local county projects by June 30, 2016. Author Amendments: Remove the specific makeup of executive steering committee membership and extend the sunset on the Social Innovation Financing Program for two years. -- END --
