SECTION 1960-1962



1960.  The Legislature finds and declares that local youthful
offender justice programs, including both custodial and noncustodial
corrective services, are better suited to provide rehabilitative
services for certain youthful offenders than state-operated
facilities. Local communities are better able than the state to
provide these offenders with the programs they require, in closer
proximity to their families and communities, including, but not
limited to, all of the following:
   (a) Implementing risk and needs assessment tools and evaluations
to assist in the identification of appropriate youthful offender
dispositions and reentry plans.
   (b) Placements in secure and semisecure youthful offender
rehabilitative facilities and in private residential care programs,
with or without foster care waivers, supporting specialized programs
for youthful offenders.
   (c) Nonresidential dispositions such as day or evening treatment
programs, community service, restitution, and drug-alcohol and other
counseling programs based on an offender's assessed risks and needs.
   (d) House arrest, electronic monitoring, and intensive probation
supervision programs.
   (e) Reentry and aftercare programs based on individual aftercare
plans for each offender who is released from a public or private
placement or confinement facility.
   (f) Capacity building strategies to upgrade the training and
qualifications of juvenile justice and probation personnel serving
the juvenile justice caseload.
   (g) Regional program and placement networks, including direct
brokering and placement locating networks to facilitate out-of-county
dispositions for counties lacking programs or facilities.




1960.5.  (a) The State Commission on Juvenile Justice, pursuant to
Section 1798.5, shall develop a Juvenile Justice Operational Master
Plan. On or before January 1, 2009, the commission shall develop and
make available for implementation by the counties the following
strategies:
   (1) Risk and needs assessment tools to evaluate the programming
and security needs of all youthful offenders and at-risk youth.
   (2) Juvenile justice universal data collection elements, which
shall be common to all counties.
   (3) Criteria and strategies to promote a continuum of
evidence-based responses to youthful offenders.
   (b) In drafting the Juvenile Justice Operational Master Plan, the
commission shall take into consideration both of the following:
   (1) Evidence-based programs and risk and needs assessment tools
currently in use by the counties.
   (2) The costs of implementing these strategies.
   (c) On or before May 1, 2008, the commission shall provide an
interim report to the Legislature, which shall include the status of
the work of the commission and the strategies it has identified to
date.

707, and who are no longer eligible for commitment to the Division
of Juvenile Facilities under Section 733 as of September 1, 2007.
   (4) A description of any regional agreements or arrangements to be
supported by the block grant allocation pursuant to this chapter.
   (5) A description of how the programs, placements, services, or
strategies identified in the plan coordinate with programs under
Chapter 353 of the Statutes of 2000 (AB 1913).
   (b) The plan described in subdivision (a) shall be submitted in a
format developed and provided by the Corrections Standards Authority.

(4) of subdivision (b) of Section 30061 of the Government Code. A
county may elect to submit both plans using the dual format and under
guidelines established by the Corrections Standards Authority.

   (d) The authority shall prepare and make available to the public
on its Internet Web site summaries of the annual county reports
submitted in accordance with subdivision (c). By March 15 of each
year, the authority also shall prepare and submit to the Legislature
a report summarizing county utilizations of block grant funds in the
preceding fiscal year, including a summary of the performance
outcomes reported by counties for the preceding fiscal year.
   (e) The authority may modify the performance outcome measures
specified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) if it determines that
counties are substantially unable to provide the information
necessary to support the measures specified. Prior to making that
modification, the authority shall consult with affected county and
state juvenile justice stakeholders. In the event that any adjustment
of the performance outcome measures is made, the outcome measures
shall, to the extent feasible, remain consistent with the performance
outcome measures specified in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (4) of
subdivision (b) of Section 30061 of the Government Code for programs
receiving juvenile justice grants from the Supplemental Law
