Bill overview
This bill makes changes to the state budget process and correctional system. It removes a requirement for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to get approval for long-term contracts with facilities housing released prisoners. It also renames the Prison Industry Authority to the California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Authority and adjusts how the state calculates funding for community corrections programs, shifting the focus from return-to-prison rates to actual admissions to prison. Finally, it modifies provisions related to the State Public Defender’s contracts and access to local detention facility records.
