LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 320, as amended, Solorio. County jails: reentry facilities.
Existing law provides state financing for construction of county
jails, subject to matching funds from counties, as specified.
Existing law requires the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation and the Corrections Standards Authority to give
funding preference for those purposes to counties that assist the
state in siting reentry facilities, as specified.
This bill would require the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation and the Corrections Standards Authority to give
coequal funding preference to counties that assist the state in
either siting reentry facilities or providing existing beds and
program space in county jails for use as reentry facilities. The bill
would provide that a county interested in providing reentry services
to state inmates shall be required to enter into a long-term
agreement with the department to provide those services and that the
department shall certify that the proposed reentry services meet
their approval.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
