          BILL SUMMARY: This bill would authorize a local law enforcement  
          agency that has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU)  
          with the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR),  
          and that has primary jurisdiction over the location where a  
          parolee who is not subject to parole revocation resides, to  
          require that parolee to wear a global position system (GPS) or  
          other electronic monitoring device for the duration of the  
          parole period. This bill provides that this discretionary use of  
          electronic monitoring shall be funded by participating local law  
          enforcement agencies, and that they shall reimburse CDCR for  
          costs is incurs related to an MOU.

          STAFF COMMENTS: 
          
          This bill does not place new mandates on local law enforcement  
          agencies, nor new requirements on CDCR. Its provisions  
          specifically authorize any local law enforcement agency to  
          require parolees who are not subject to parole revocation,  
          living in its jurisdiction, to submit to electronic monitoring,  
          as specified. If an agency chooses to pursue this policy, it is  
          required to enter into an MOU with CDCR to establish conditions  
          of electronic monitoring, and likely to address practical and  
          logistical considerations for both of the agencies. 











          CDCR does not have to agree to enter into an MOU with a local  
          law enforcement agency. To the extent that CDCR establishes and  
          agrees to MOUs with local law enforcement agencies, those  
          agencies will be responsible for reimbursing CDCR for its costs   
          "in preparing, entering into and performing any actions pursuant  
          to" an MOU. This bill also specifies that the local law  
          enforcement agency will be responsible for all other costs of  
          electronic monitoring authorized by this bill.
