FISCAL EFFECT : According to the Senate Appropriations
Committee:
1)Minor ongoing costs, likely less than $20,000 (General Fund)
annually to the BSCC in travel and per diem costs to expand
membership of the BSCC from 12 to 16 members. Potential minor
future cost pressure for additional expansion of BSCC
membership.
2)Minor ongoing non-reimbursable local costs to expand
membership of county CCPs from 14 to 18 members to the extent
overtime is required to engage the participation of the
additional members.
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."
