Title: California Community Corrections Performance Incentives.
Author: Kevin McCarty

Summary
AB 2882, as introduced, McCarty. California Community Corrections Performance Incentives. Existing law authorizes each county to establish a Community Corrections Performance Incentives Fund to receive moneys for the implementation of a community corrections program to provide supervision and rehabilitative services for adult felony offenders subject to local supervision. Existing law requires the program to be developed and implemented by probation and advised by a local Community Corrections Partnership. Existing law requires the partnership to be comprised of specified members, including, among others, a representative from a community-based organization with experience in successfully providing rehabilitative services to persons who have been convicted of a criminal offense.This bill would add a representative of a community-based organization with experience in successfully providing behavioral health treatment services to persons who have been convicted of a criminal offense, and a representative of a Medi-Cal managed care plan that provides the Enhanced Care Management benefit, to the membership of the partnership.Existing law requires each county local Community Corrections Partnership to recommend a local plan to the county board of supervisors, and requires the board to accept or reject the plan. Existing law requires the plan to be voted on by an executive committee of each county’s partnership consisting of, among others, one department representative from the head of the county department of social services, the head of the county department of mental health, or the head of the county alcohol and substance abuse programs.This bill would instead require the committee to consist of all 3 of the departments mentioned above and would require the department head to have the number of votes equivalent to the number of departments they represent. The bill would require the plan to, among other things, include quantifiable goals for improving the community corrections system, as specified. The bill would require the local partnership to submit the accepted plan annually to the Board of State and Community Corrections.This bill would require each county to submit the County Community Corrections Outcomes, Accountability, and Transparency report annually to the Board of State and Community Corrections that includes, among other things, the number of people who have a serious mental illness or substance use disorder who are connected to community-based treatment and support upon release from jail or completion of community supervision. The bill would require each county’s board of supervisors to verify that the report is complete and accurate before it is submitted to the board. Because this bill would expand the duties for certain local officials, it would impose a state-mandated local program.Existing law requires the Board of State and Community Corrections to collect and maintain available information and data about state and community correctional policies, practices, capacities, and needs, including, but not limited to, prevention, intervention, suppression, supervision, and incapacitation, as they relate to both adult corrections, juvenile justice, and gang problems. Existing law requires the board to collect and analyze available data regarding the implementation of the local plans and other outcome-based measures.This bill would require the board to create the Community Corrections Outcomes, Accountability, and Transparency dashboard that displays the county’s goals mentioned above and the spending and outcomes data reported in the County Community Corrections Outcomes, Accountability, and Transparency report. The bill would require the dashboard to be accessible through the board’s internet website.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 w
