FROM' Phil Batchelor, County Administrator Contra
Costa
DATE: January 27, 1988
SUBJECT;
LEGISLATION ” - AB1833 (NORMAN WATERS)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position in support of AB1833 by Assemblyman Waters which
maintains in force a requirement that counties have a Child Abuse
Prevention Council and which requires those Councils to report annually to
the Board of Supervisors.
BACKGROUND:
Current law, enacted in 1985 , requires that counties fund Child Abuse
Prevention Councils from funds provided by the Children' s trust fund.
Current law repeals this requirement on June 30, 1989. Current law has no
requirement that the Child Abuse Prevention Councils make annual reports to
the Board of Supervisors or, the Department of Justice.
Assemblyman Norman Waters has amended AB1833 , effective January 12,
1988 to delete the June 30, 1989 repeal date, thereby leaving in place
indefinitely the requirement that counties have a Child Abuse Prevention
Council. AB1833 also requires each Council to report to its Board of
Supervisors and to the State Department of Justiceregarding progress in
achieving interagency coordination in the processing of Child. Abuse cases.
AB1833 further requires 1. the Department of, Justice to report to the
Legislature and specified legislative committees regarding the progress of
the Councils in achieving interagency coordination in the processing of
Child Abuse cases.
The changes proposed by AB1833 will continue the Child Abuse
Prevention Council in .this County and" .will require that the Council report
annually to the Board of Supervisors, thereby providing the Board better
ability to monitor and provide oversight on the funds which are provided to
the Council. It is therefore recommended that the Board support AB1833 .
