Bill
Summary: SB 1064 would eliminate the sunset date on the
discretionary Sexually Exploited Minors Pilot Project in Alameda
County, and expand the program statewide to operate
indefinitely. This bill would expand the definition of
"commercially sexually exploited minor" to include, among
others, minors who have been adjudged dependents of the juvenile
court. Additionally, this bill would provide that a minor who is
the subject of a petition to adjudge him or her as a dependent
of the juvenile court is presumed to be a commercially sexually
exploited minor, as specified.

Fiscal
Impact:
Sexually Exploited Minors Project sunset elimination :
SB 1064 (Hancock) Page 1 of
?
Potentially minor to moderate ongoing increase in local costs
(Local Funds/General Fund*) to district attorneys of Los
Angeles and Alameda for additional workload, as programs are
already operating in these counties. As funding is contingent
upon local funding only for the establishment of a program in
each county, ongoing future operational costs are potentially
eligible to be supported by other fund sources.
CSEC Program : Potential future cost pressure (General Fund*)
on the Commercially Sexually Exploited Children (CSEC)
Program, which is administered by the DSS, to the extent the
additional services and activities by district attorneys are
incorporated into county plans submitted for participation
under the program made eligible under the expanded definition
of "commercially sexually exploited minors" to include
juvenile dependents. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-17 Governor's
Budget reflects 38 counties electing to participate in the
program, and $14 million General Fund provided for support of
this program.
*Proposition 30 (2012) : Exempts the State from mandate
reimbursement for realigned responsibilities for "public
safety services" including the training of law enforcement
personnel and attorneys assigned to criminal proceedings, and
the provision of child welfare services to prevent
exploitation, however, legislation enacted after September 30,
2012, that has an overall effect of increasing the costs
already borne by a local agency for public safety services
apply to local agencies only to the extent that the State
provides annual funding for the cost increase.
Committee
Amendments: Strike the expansion of the pilot program statewide
and instead remove the sunset date on the pilot programs in the
counties of Alameda and Los Angeles, as amended to expand the
definition of "commercially sexually exploited minor."
