           SUMMARY  


          This bill authorizes counties to establish a Community Juvenile  
          Probation Performance Incentives Fund to support supervision and  
          rehabilitative services for juvenile offenders subject to  
          probation. All programs receiving funding shall be spent on  
          evidence-based practices.


           FISCAL EFFECT


           No direct state or local costs or savings as the bill is  
          permissive, does not identify any potential funding sources, is  
          silent on the use of incentives, and does not specify practices  
          not currently employed by most probation departments.

           
          COMMENTS

          Need for the bill is not clear  , as counties could currently  
          establish funds for probation purposes if such funds were  
          available.
