DIXON tra Interim County Administrator Costa DATE: May 8, 1984 County SUBJECT: AB 2761 (ASSEMBLY MEMBER NOLAN) SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION Recommendation: Support AB 2761 (Assembly Member Nolan) which provides for a State program of technical and financial assistance to local entities for the development and operation of juvenile justice community resource programs. Background: One problem facing juvenile court judges and the juvenile justice system throughout the State is the lack of adequate services, particularly educational, psychological and medical services, to deal with offenders and juveniles which come within the jurisdiction of the court. There is a program which is a joint public/private venture called the Juvenile Justice Connection Project which has been operated for a number of years in Los Angeles which provides services to young people,with substantial savings, by providing a link between the juvenile justice system, community service agencies and private practitioners and delinquent youth and their families. This bill would set up a program within the California Youth Authority that would permit counties to compete for small grants to establish such a program. The need for such a program has been identified in this County as part of our research related to the Juvenile Corrections Master Plan, and is seen as vitally needed by the Juvenile Court Judge, County Probation Officer and the Juvenile Justice/Delinquency Prevention Commissions. AB 2761 passed the Assembly Committee on Criminal Law and Public Safety April 4 on a vote of 6:0. It is scheduled to be heard in the Ways & Means Committee on May 30.
