Today, the Assembly and Senate Appropriations Committees met for
the twice-annual Suspense File hearing. Two of the Administration
of Justice’s (AOJ) priority opposition bills, SB 1057(Menjivar) and
AB 2882(McCarty), were
HELD in the committee and will thus
NOT proceed to the floor for votes.
SB 1057 would dramatically recast the
composition of multiagency juvenile justice coordinating
councils, which are designed to develop and implement a
continuum of county-based responses to addressing the needs of
justice system-involved youth.
AB 2882 changes the composition of Community
Corrections Partnerships, would specify new plan development
and processing requirements at the local level, and adds
considerable new Community Corrections Partnership data
collection and reporting requirements.
While we anticipate we may see these bills reintroduced in
upcoming legislative sessions, we thank individual counties
for your engagement and advocacy efforts, which were instrumental
in preventing these bills from moving forward to the
Governor’s desk.
