SUBJECT: LEGISLATION - AB 3051 (Friedman)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION-
Adopt a position of SUPPORT for AB 3051 by Assemblyman Friedman
which would require the State Department of Alcohol and Drug
Programs to establish a program to provide outreach and treatment
services for homeless, runaway youth drug abusers.
BACKGROUND:
Under current law, the State Department of Alcohol and Drug
Programs is responsible for directing and coordinating the
state' s efforts to prevent or minimize the effects of alcohol
misuse, narcotic addiction and drug use.
AB 3051 would require the State Department of Alcohol and Drug
Programs to establish a program to provide outreach and treatment
services for homeless, runaway youth drug abusers.
The bill appropriates an unspecified sum from the General Fund to
the State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs for the
purposes specified above.
While this is clearly a "spot bill" which is intended to be
amended later to provide additional specific details regarding
the intent of the author, the concept of providing outreach and
treatment services for homeless, runaway youth drug abusers is
commendable and clearly needed. It is therefore recommended that
the Board of Supervisors indicate its support for AB 3051 and
