          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

            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.
