Workgroups would need to be open to stakeholders and the public. No official business would be conducted, it would need to be brought to the full council. b. Policy Advisors No more than two members would work with staff to provide input and feedback to develop various products (analysis, fact sheets, policy recommendations, etc.) but no official business would be conducted, that would need to be brought to the full council. c.

LegislativeUpdate CCJBH began the legislative cycle following 211 bills and monitoring 29 priority bills. Of the 29 bills 7 bills are moving in this legislative session due to COVID-19 and the shift in the economy. AB 1950 (Kamlager) Probation: length of terms. 6/16/20 S-RLS. Existing 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. This bill would instead restrict the period of probation for a misdemeanor to no longer than one year except as specified.

LegislativeUpdate (cont) AB 2425 (Mark Stone) Juvenile police records. 6/16/20 S-RLS. This bill will prohibit a law enforcement agency in any county from releasing a copy of a juvenile police record if the subject of the juvenile police record is (1) diverted by police officers from arrest, citation, detention, or referral to probation or any district attorney and who is currently participating in a diversion program or who has satisfactorily completed a diversion program, (2) counseled and released by police officers without an arrest, citation, detention, or referral to probation or any district attorney, or (3) does not fall within the jurisdiction of the juvenile delinquency court under current state law, except as specified AB 2576 (Gloria) Mental health. 6/16/20 S-RLS. The bill would require that consideration be given to using the reallocated funds to provide services to individuals with mental illness who are also experiencing homelessness or who are involved in the criminal justice system and to provide early intervention services to youth.

LegislativeUpdate (cont) AB 2483 (Bauer-Kahan) County jails: recidivism: reports. 6/11/20 S-RLS. Existing law establishes the Board of State and Community Corrections, which, among other things, is responsible for providing statewide leadership, coordination, and technical assistance to promote effective state and local efforts and partnerships in California s adult and juvenile criminal justice system. This bill would, starting on January 1, 2023, and annually thereafter until January 1, 2027, require the sheriff in each county to compile and submit specified data to the Board of State and Community Corrections on their anti-recidivism programs and success rates in reducing recidivism. The bill would require the board to annually compile a report based upon those findings and submit the report to the Legislature by a specified date.

LegislativeUpdate (cont) SB 665 (Umberg) Mental Health Services Fund: county jails. 6/18/20 A-HEALTH Current law prohibits Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) funds from being used to pay for persons incarcerated in state prison or parolees from state prisons. The 2011 Realignment Legislation addressing public safety and related statutes, requires that certain specified felonies be punished by a term of imprisonment in a county jail, rather than the state prison, and provides for mandatory supervision, a period of suspended execution of a concluding portion of the sentence that is supervised by the county probation officer. This bill would, until January 1, 2023, authorize a county to use MHSA funds, if that use is included in the county plan, to provide services to persons who are incarcerated in a county jail or subject to mandatory supervision, except persons who are incarcerated in a county jail for a conviction of a felony unless for purposes of facilitating discharge.
