2/3 vote. Urgency
SENATE VOTE : Vote not relevant
SUMMARY : Contains necessary statutory and technical changes to
implement changes to the Budget Act of 2011 and makes the
following changes that will make it easier for locals to access
jail construction funding. Adding jail capacity will help
mitigate the impact of increased public safety responsibilities
at the local level. Specifically, this bill :
1)Moves uncommitted jail construction funding, AB 900 (Solorio),
Chapter 7, Statutes of 2007, from phase I to phase II.
2)Removes reentry siting requirements for accessing phase II
funding.
3)Removes benchmark requirements for accessing phase II funding.
4)Adds preference for counties that committed the largest
percentage of inmates to state custody in relation to the
total state inmate population in 2010.
5)Stipulates this act becomes operative if SB 85 (Budget and
Fiscal Review Committee) or AB 109 (Budget Committee) (Public
Safety Realignment) is enacted.
6)Adds an urgency clause allowing this bill to take effect
immediately upon enactment.
