FISCAL EFFECT : According to the Assembly Appropriations
Committee:
1)Minor state costs, likely less than $20,000, for additional
travel expenses for BSCC members who do not otherwise receive
compensation.
2)Minor, nonreimbursable local costs, likely less than $5,000
per county, to the extent rank-and-file members participation
in CCP meetings requires backfill and/or overtime.
COMMENTS : According to the author, "Under realignment,
rank-and-file probation officers and deputy sheriffs have been
excluded from the Executive Committees of the CCPs, and the
statewide executive committee; both of these committees are
charged with implementation of realignment. As a result there
is currently no rank-and-file representation and no effective
voice for the individuals who will actually deliver the bulk of
services required for successful implementation of realignment."
Please see the policy committee analysis for a full discussion
of this bill.
