SUMMARY : Requires the Director of the Office of Gang and Youth
Violence Policy (OGYVP) to consolidate and streamline existing
state agency gang and youth violence grant programs with a goal
toward giving priority to grant programs that employ
evidence-based practices. Authorizes the Director to create a
working group to assist in this effort.
FISCAL EFFECT : According to the Assembly Appropriations
Committee, no direct state cost as this bill directs a state
agency to pursue a subjective objective consistent with current
practice.
COMMENTS : According to the author, "The OGYVP, administered by
the California Emergency Management Agency, identifies and
evaluates gang and youth violence programs and strategies, as
well as funding those efforts through the California Gang
Reduction, Intervention, and Prevention Program (CalGRIP). The
OGYVP Director is responsible for reviewing, allocating, and
distributing CalGRIP grants. In creating more efficiency and
accountability in the CalGRIP grant disbursement process, it is
necessary to consolidate the volume of funding streams and give
priority to programs that employ evidence-based practices."
Please see the policy committee for a full discussion of this
bill.
