Latest Text Digest

Existing law authorizes, until January 1, 2026, the Counties of Alameda, Butte, Nevada, and Santa Clara to establish a pilot program to operate a deferred entry of judgment pilot program for eligible defendants who are 18 years of age or older, but under 21 years of age, on the date the offense was committed, as specified. Existing law requires a probation department to submit data relating to the effectiveness of the pilot program to the Division of Recidivism Reduction and Re-Entry, within the Department of Justice. Existing law requires a participating county to submit an evaluation of its pilot program’s impact and effectiveness to the Assembly and Senate Committees on Public Safety, no later than December 31, 2024.

This bill would extend the pilot program, for the Counties of Butte, Nevada, and Santa Clara, to January 1, 2029, and would require an evaluation to be submitted to the Assembly and Senate Committees on Public Safety no later than December 31, 2027.

Existing law requires the Board of State and Community Corrections to review a county’s pilot program to ensure compliance with specific federal law.

This bill would instead require the Office of Youth and Community Restoration to review a county’s pilot program for compliance and would require the office to report findings from the review to the board.
