The administrative fees related to the public defense, probation, criminal justice administrationPage 48 of 54 The administrative fees related to the public defense, probation, criminal justice administration fee, and alternative custody included in the bill were also included in the County's moratorium.  During the April 2021 meeting, the PPC received an update on the County fee moratorium. With AB 1869 being effective July 1, 2021, the Superior Court was required to take action on many of these same fines and fees that were included in the moratorium. The public defender fee, probation fees, the sheriff booking fee will be discharged from the Court's accounting system pursuant to AB 1869. The Superior Court had requested direction from the County on the discharge of the outstanding balance of drug diversion fees and victim restitution admin fees, fees affected by the County’s moratorium but not by AB 1869. The PPC was also updated on new legislation that was introduced during 2021, Senate Bill 586 (Criminal Fees), which would eliminate a number of other criminal fees, including the drug diversion fee and victim restitution administrative fee. The PPC recommended to the full Board of Supervisor for the Victim Restitution Administrative Fee and the Drug Diversion Fee to be discharged. During the October 2021 meeting, the PPC was updated on Assembly Bill 177. This bill by the Budget Committee transitioned from SB 586 by Senator Steve Bradford and effective January 1, 2022, eliminates 17 administrative criminal fees; makes past debt for these fees uncollectible; and allocates backfill funding to counties for the associated loss of revenue from these fee repeals. In 2021-22, the backfill will total $25 million for counties. In 2022-23 and ongoing, the backfill will increase to $50 million for counties. AB 177 also indicates the Legislature’s intent to pursue additional legislation by March 1, 2022, to finalize the funding allocation methodology for distribution. California State Association of Counties (CSAC) will continue conversations with stakeholders and share further information as it is available. AB 177 was signed by the Governor on September 23rd.  Referral Update: In November 2021, the California Department of Finance (DOF) had finalized the AB 1869 county by county allocation schedule to backfill counties as a result of revenues lost from the repeal of various criminal administrative fees. AB 1869 set aside $65 million annually from fiscal years 2021-22 through 2025-26 to backfill counties for estimated lost revenue. The backfill for each county is based on its percentage for the statewide average of the following three variables for the calendar years 2017, 2018, and 2019: 1) adult population (50 percent of the allocation); 2) felony and misdemeanor arrests (25 percent of the allocation); and 3) traffic and non-traffic felony and misdemeanor filings (25 percent of the allocation). Each county’s calculation can be found on the attached “AB 1869 Backfill Methodology” (Attachment A). Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): RECEIVE an update on County criminal justice fees and the impacts of AB 1869 (Criminal Fees).  Fiscal Impact (if any): This item informational and has no direct fiscal impact. However, through AB 1869 the County will be receiving $1,497,266 in backfill funding. In comparision, the County had a revenue reduction of approximately $1.6 million from the elimination of the various alternatives to incarceration, public defender, and probation fees.

Statewide totals based on adding the three year average for population, arrest/filing volume. Percentage of total backfill for each metric is established by dividing three-year average by the statewide total and then applying the percentage from each county based on the weights for each metric. 2. Percentage value of total backfill was applied to each metric type so 50 percent of the backfill is based on pop, 25 percent based on filings, and 25 percent is based on arrests, as prescribed by statute 3. Population data is based on yearly reporting from the Federal Census Bureau. Attachment A Page 52 of 54 PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE 6.
