LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1007, as amended, Jones-Sawyer.
State Civil Service Act: adverse action: notice. Local government financing: juvenile justice.
Under existing law, there is established in each county treasury a Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Account (SLESA) to receive all amounts allocated to a county for specified purposes. In any fiscal year for which a county receives moneys to be expended for implementation, existing law requires the county auditor to allocate the moneys in the county’s SLESA within 30 days of the deposit of those moneys into the fund. Existing law requires the moneys to be allocated in specified amounts, including, but not limited to, 50% to a county or city and county to implement a comprehensive multiagency juvenile justice plan, as specified. Existing law requires the juvenile justice plan to be developed by the local juvenile justice coordinating council in each county and city and county. Existing law requires
the plan to be annually reviewed and updated by the council and submitted to the Board of State and Community Corrections. Existing law requires the multiagency juvenile justice plan to include certain components, including, but not limited to, a local juvenile justice action strategy that provides for a continuum of responses to juvenile crime and delinquency. Existing law also requires each council to annually report to their board of supervisors and the board information on the effectiveness of the programs and strategies funded under these provisions, and requires the board to annually report this information to the Governor and the Legislature and post it on its internet website.
This bill would revise and recast required components of the multiagency juvenile justice plan to, among other things, additionally require a plan to include an assessment of existing community-based youth development services, identification and prioritization of areas of the
community that face significant public safety risk from violence and crime, documentation of the effectiveness of the programs funded under these provisions, and a description of the target population funded under these provisions. The bill would require programs and strategies funded under these provisions to, among other things, be modeled on trauma-informed and youth development approaches and in collaboration with community-based organizations. The bill would require that at least 95% of the funds allocated under these provisions be distributed to community-based organizations and other public agencies or departments that are not law enforcement entities, as specified. The bill would require a council to include additional information in its annual report to the board of supervisors and the board relating to their programs, including data on participants, and would impose additional requirements on the board with respect to those annual reports, including, but not limited to, providing a statewide
analysis of county spending.
Existing law requires a juvenile justice coordinating council to consist of certain members, including, but not limited to, the chief probation officer, as chair, and a representative from the district attorney’s office, the public defender’s office, and the sheriff’s department, among others.
This bill would revise and recast those membership provisions, and instead require each Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council to, at a minimum, include 7 members and consist of at least 50% community representatives with the remainder of the seats allocated to government agencies. The bill would require a council to select 2 cochairs from amongst its members, as specified. The bill would require a council to meet no less than 3 times per year and announce its meetings at least 10 days in advance of a meeting.
The State Civil Service Act requires notice of any adverse action against any state employee for any cause for discipline based on any civil service law to be served within 3 years after the cause for discipline, upon which the notice is based, first arose. That act provides that an adverse action based on fraud, embezzlement, or the falsification of records is valid if notice of the adverse action is served within 3 years after the discovery of the fraud, embezzlement, or falsification.
This bill would prohibit adverse action based on fraud, embezzlement, falsification of records, harassment on specified bases, sexual assault, or a cause for discipline that is the subject of a criminal investigation or criminal prosecution for a felony, from being valid unless notice is
served within
3 years after the discovery of the cause for discipline. The bill would also prohibit adverse action from being valid unless notice is served within one year after the discovery of the cause for discipline if the cause for discipline is not of those excepted bases specified in the previous sentence and it was discovered on or after January 1, 2020. The bill would also make other clarifying changes to that provision.
