In plain language

This bill creates a fund to support the implementation of Proposition 36 for public safety services.

The Funding of Proposition 36 Act establishes the California Public Safety Services Support Fund to finance programs for public safety. It requires a transfer of $400 million from the General Fund for the 2026–27 fiscal year to support these initiatives.

What this means for you
  • Workers: Workers in counties offering public safety services may benefit from improved program funding.
  • Families: This funding may enhance treatment services for families facing challenges related to drug addiction and mental health.

Summary

Existing law generally provides financial support for cities and counties to provide public safety services, including, among other funding, moneys allocated through the Local Revenue Fund 2011 and its accounts. Existing law, enacted by the voters as the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act (Proposition 36) at the November 5, 2024, statewide general election, authorizes the Board of State and Community Corrections to allocate appropriate funds to counties and local governments for programs under the Treatment-Mandated Felony Act, as specified. This bill, the Funding of Proposition 36 Act, would create the California Public Safety Services Support Fund to be used, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to implement Proposition 36. The bill would, upon appropriation by the Legislature for the 2026–27 fiscal year, require the funds to be administered by the Board of State and Community Corrections, as specified. The bill would also require, beginning in the 2027–28 fiscal year, the Governor to annually include a proposed transfer from the General Fund to the California Public Safety Services Support Fund of an amount sufficient to fund the ongoing administration of Proposition 36 as part of the Governor's proposed budget to the Legislature. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
