FROM: CHARLES E. 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.
