          DIGEST:  This bill makes statutory changes necessary to enact  
          public safety provisions of the Budget Act of 2016.


          ANALYSIS:  This bill authorizes $250 million in lease-revenue  
          bond financing for county jail construction projects designed to  
          improve housing with an emphasis on expanding program and  
          treatment space to manage the adult offender population under  
          its jurisdiction.

          In addition, this bill requires that any county applying for  
          jail construction funds provide in-person, on-site visitation  
          for inmates and that the county include in its grant application  
          a description of efforts to address sexual abuse in its adult  
          local criminal justice facility.

          Finally, this bill appropriates $20 million in lease-revenue  
          bond financing for the necessary repairs to the Napa County jail  
          as a result of the damage sustained during the 2014 earthquake.
