Whether recommendations have been, will be, or will not be implemented, as well as whether recommendations require further analysis, and an explanation for such responses.

The California Penal Code specifies that the Board of Supervisors must forward its response to the Superior Court no later than January 16, 2022 (90 days from receipt).
