Summary: Appropriates $242.6 million for local law enforcement
programs: $121.3 million to continue funding of the Citizens
Option for Public Safety (COPS) program; and, $121.3 million to
a juvenile justice initiative to be administered by the Board of

The Senate amendments delete the Assembly version of this bill,
and instead repeal and add Government Code sections that were

counties for frontline officers.

participating cities and/or counties, as specified.
3)Provide for additional new components to the COPS program such

Fund; and, ii) requiring an annual report on expenditures to
the Legislature.
4)Appropriate $121.3 million for local juvenile justice
programs.

Coordinating Council, chaired by the county chief probation
officer, to develop a local action plan for juvenile justice,
as specified.
