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.
