S. 7 - 0 | | | | |--------------------------------+--------------------------------| | | | |Urgency: No |Mandate: Yes | | | | |--------------------------------+--------------------------------| | | | |Hearing Date: August 11, 2016 |Consultant: Jolie Onodera | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Summary: AB 1998 would do the following: Require the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC), by January 1, 2018, to develop recommendations for best practices and standardizations for counties on how to disaggregate juvenile justice caseload and performance and outcome data by race and ethnicity. Revise and recast the data collection and reporting requirements for counties for multiagency juvenile justice plans under the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Account (SLESA) and juvenile justice development plans supported by the Youthful Offender Block Grant (YOBG) program, and would require consolidation of the information to be reported annually to the BSCC, as specified. Authorize the BSCC to (1) consolidate the annual report to the Legislature and the Governor for the JJCPA with the annual report required under the YOBG program, (2) provide technical AB 1998 (Campos) Page 1 of ? assistance to counties for promoting compliance with plan and reporting requirements, and, (3) monitor and inspect any programs or facilities supported by grant funds and to enforce violations of grant requirements. Expand eligibility for grant funding for multiagency juvenile justice plans and youthful offender programs to include strategies and system enhancements. *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE *********** The following information is revised to reflect amendments adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016 Fiscal Impact: BSCC : One-time and ongoing costs potentially in excess of $50,000 (General Fund) for additional workload to develop recommendations for best practices and standardizations for counties on how to disaggregate juvenile justice data, and provide technical assistance on plan and reporting requirements. Potential future administrative cost savings (General Fund) through submittal of a consolidated annual report to the Legislature to include the additional information submitted by counties. Local agencies : Potentially significant increase in one-time and near-term local agency costs (Special Fund*), potentially state-reimbursable or subject to Proposition 30 funding provisions, in whole or in part (General Fund), to develop/update multiagency juvenile justice plans, including information on strategies and system enhancements, and to conduct more robust data collection, analysis, and reporting. Administrative overhead costs are capped at 0.5 percent of a local entity's annual SLESA allocation. To the extent additional administrative costs are incurred by a county above the cap could potentially be subject to mandate reimbursement by the state or require a subvention of funds from the state pursuant to Proposition 30 (General Fund). To the extent the AB 1998 (Campos) Page 2 of ? required consolidation of reporting to the BSCC results in workload efficiencies could potentially result in administrative cost savings in future years. JJCPA and YOBG expenditures : Potentially significant future increase in juvenile justice plan expenditures (Special Fund*) due to (1) eligibility for grant funding extended beyond programs to include strategies and system enhancements, including the implementation of any recommendations made by the BSCC on the standardization of disaggregation of data, and, (2) the more robust data collection, analysis, and reporting requirements on local agencies. To the extent allocations are expended in full each year, a portion of existing funding would potentially be shifted from programs to support administrative activities. *Local Revenue Fund 2011 (Enhancing Law Enforcement Activities Subaccount and Youthful Offender Block Grant Special Account) Author Amendments: Adds uncodified findings and declarations to clarify legislative intent and makes other technical changes. -- END --
