CCJBH Business Meeting Section WORKGROUP UPDATES Reentry and Reintegration Workgroup Juvenile Justice Workgroup Prevention and Diversion Workgroup

Reentry and Reintegration Workgroup Key Takeaways Reentry and reintegration crisis predated Covid-19; the pandemic simply created new urgency behind the implementation of proven strategies. Because the criminal justice system disproportionately affects marginalized groups, the response to COVID-19 has major impact on people of color and LGBTQ communities. Expedited releases Dramatic reduction of incarcerated populations across the state, and a changing role of courts leaves traditional post-release planning unable to adequately respond. Reduced but largely stabilized jail populations Council members Mack Jenkins and Judge Stephen Manley suggest using available research and re-thinking services offered pre-plea to create positive monitoring and prevent new offenses moving forward.

Reentry and Reintegration Workgroup Proposed Reentry Policy Brief Provide updated information about releases and available resources to support people coming home from prison and jail o Health Survey Responses indicate overwhelming need for mental health services both pre-trial and post-trial Medi-Cal system doesn t support assessments and referrals when people are still in custody, which makes it hard to do discharge planning

Proposed Reentry Policy Brief o Housing Need additional housing placements for people at release, as well as support for transition to permanent housing o Income supports Service navigation is essential to ensure that people can receive SSI and CalFresh, among other benefits Offer a select few specific policy recommendations that will be useful to the Administration and Legislature

Legislative Update Current Legislation CCJBH is Monitoring AB 1950- (Kamlager D) Probation: length of terms. (Enrollment 8/24/2020). Current law authorizes courts that have jurisdiction in misdemeanor cases to suspend the sentence and make and enforce terms of probation in those cases, for a period not to exceed 3 years, except when the period of the maximum sentence imposed by law exceeds 3 years, in which case the terms of probation may be imposed for a longer period than 3 years, but not to exceed the time for which the person may be imprisoned. This bill would instead restrict the period of probation for a misdemeanor to no longer than one year, except as specified. SB 854- (Beall) Health care coverage: Substance use disorders (DEAD 5/29/20). This bill will remove the clause of prior authorization requirements before authorizing prescription drug benefits for the treatment of substance use disorders. SB 855- (Wiener) Health coverage: mental health or substance abuse disorders (Second Reading 8/25/20). This bill strengthens the California Parity Act to require insurers cover medically necessary treatment for all mental health and substance use disorders, not just in emergency care.

Legislative Update Current Legislation CCJBH is Monitoring (continued) SB- (Umberg) Mental Health Services Fund: county jails. (Appr. Suspense File 8/18/2020). This bill would establish the Jail-Based Community Mental Health Innovation Program (JBCMHIP). The program would authorize up to 8 counties, including Orange County, with approval from the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission, to use MHSA funds to establish county JBCMHIPs to introduce innovative approaches to meet the mental health needs of persons in jail, including persons who have been convicted of a felony and sentenced to imprisonment in a county jail. The bill would specify the duties of an approved county and would require an approved county to include the program in the county s 3-year MHSA plan or periodic updates. AB 2028- (Aguiar-Curry) State agencies: meetings (Third Reading 8/25/2020) The Bagley Keen Act requires the state body to provide notice of its meeting, including specified information and a specific agenda of the meeting, as provided, to any person who requests that notice in writing and to make that notice available on the internet at least 10 days in advance of the meeting. This bill will require these writings and materials to be made available on the internet at least 10 days in advance of the meeting and that a state body may only distribute or discuss these writings or materials at a meeting of the state body if it has complied with these requirements.
