Summary

Existing law prohibits a local detention facility, as defined, that offered in person visitation as of January 1, 2017, from converting to video visitation only. Existing law prohibits a local detention facility from charging for onsite visitation, whether such visitation is in person or via video. This bill would require all local detention facilities to offer in-person visitation. The bill would give any facility that does not offer in-person visitation until January 1, 2025, to comply with this requirement. By requiring local detention facilities to provide in-person visitation, 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 the statutory provisions noted above.
