*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 27, 2015
Bill
Summary: AB 1056 would enact the Second Chance Program, which
would require the Board of State and Community Corrections
(BSCC) to administer a competitive grant program using savings
resulting from the implementation of Proposition 47, the Safe
Neighborhoods and Schools Act of 2014, and other fund sources,
as specified. 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

(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.
