CA SB 762

Title: Local detention facilities: safety checks.
Author: Josh Becker

Summary
SB 762, as amended, Becker. Local detention facilities: safety checks. Existing law establishes the Board of State and Community Corrections and declares that the mission of the board is to provide statewide leadership, coordination, and technical assistance to promote effective state and local efforts and partnerships in California’s adult and juvenile criminal justice system consistent with the statewide goal of improved public safety through cost-effective, promising, and evidence-based strategies for managing criminal justice populations. Existing law requires the board to establish minimum standards for local correctional facilities, including the safety of incarcerated individuals, and to biennially review and make appropriate revisions to those standards.This bill would require the board to revise those standards during the next regularly scheduled review to require a local detention facility to include a procedure for affirming that an incarcerated individual is alive during a safety check. By imposing additional requirements on local correctional facilities, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.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 would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

Status
