Summary
Existing law establishes the Youthful Offender Block Grant Fund to be used to enhance the capacity of county probation, mental health, drug and alcohol, and other departments to provide appropriate rehabilitative and supervision services to specified youthful offenders. This bill, the Youth Community Incentives Act of 2013, would permit each county to establish in each county treasury a Youthful Offender Block Grant Fund Part B account. The bill would require the Department of Finance, in consultation with the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the Board of State and Community Corrections, and the Chief Probation Officers of California, to calculate the cost to the state of housing and supervising youth offenders who have committed certain specified offenses for the fiscal year 2012–13 and every year thereafter and, would annually allocate 75% the savings realized to the Youthful Offender Block Grant Fund Part B account, which would be created by this bill, for the purposes specified in this bill, thereby making an appropriation. The bill would require, in any fiscal year for which a county receives money pursuant to these provisions, the funds to be made available to the chief probation officer to be utilized to improve local probation supervision practices and capacities serving juvenile offenders. The bill would require that 40% of the funds be allocated proportionally and directly to those counties with net decreases in new admissions of youth offenders to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Justice, 40% to be available to fund a block grant program, as specified, and 20% to be available to fund technical assistance for counties in the ongoing implementation of best practices for serving certain specified juvenile offenders. The bill would require county probation departments receiving funds pursuant to the bill to develop and submit a youth supervision and rehabilitation plan to the Board of State and Community Corrections. The bill would require the chief probation officer to prepare and submit a report on the use of the funds to the Board of State and Community Corrections after approval by the juvenile justice coordinating counsel for that county. By imposing new duties on local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
