Assembly Amendments revise and recast with similar intent as
when it left the Senate.
ANALYSIS :
Existing law:
1.Establishes, within the Board of State and Community
Corrections (BSCC), the CJJDWG, as provided, and the CJJDWG is
required, among other things, to recommend a plan for
improving specified juvenile justice reporting requirements,
including streamlining and consolidating requirements without
sacrificing meaningful data collection. The CJJDWG is
required to submit its recommendations to the BSCC no later
than December 31, 2014.
2.Requires the BSCC to administer MIOCR grants on a competitive
basis to counties that expand or establish a continuum of
timely and effective responses to reduce crime and criminal
justice costs related to mentally ill juvenile and adult
offenders. The grants administered by the BSCC are required
to be divided between adult and juvenile MIOCR grants in
accordance with the funds appropriated for each type of grant.
3.Requires an application for a MIOCR grant to describe a
four-year plan for programs, services, or strategies, and
requires the BSCC to award grants that provide funding for
four years with the proviso that funding beyond the first year
of the plan is contingent upon annual appropriations and the
availability of funds to support MIOCR grants beyond the first
funding year.
4.Requires the BSCC to create an evaluation design for adult and
juvenile MIOCR grants that assesses the effectiveness of the
program in reducing crime, adult and juvenile offender
incarceration and placement levels, early releases due to jail
overcrowding, and local criminal and juvenile justice costs.
The BSCC is required to annually submit a report to the
Legislature based on the evaluation design, commencing October
1, 2015, with a final report due on December 31, 2019.
