In 2011, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 109 (Chapter 15, Statutes of 2011) which transferred responsibility for supervising certain lower-level inmates and parolees from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to counties. Assembly Bill 109 (AB 109) realigned three major areas of the criminal justice system. On a prospective basis, the legislation: (1) transferred the location of incarceration for lower-level offenders (specified nonviolent, non-serious, non-sex offenders) from state prison to local county jail and provides for an expanded role for post-release supervision for these offenders; (2) transferred responsibility for post-release supervision of lower-level offenders (those released from prison after having served a sentence for a non-violent, non-serious, and non-sex offense) from the state to the county level by creating a new category of supervision called Post-Release Community Supervision (PRCS); and (3) transferred the custody responsibility for parole and PRCS revocations to local jail, administered by county sheriffs.   
  
AB109 also created an Executive Committee of the local Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) and tasked it with recommending a Realignment Plan (Plan) to the county Board of Supervisors for implementation of the criminal justice realignment. The membership of the Community Corrections Partnership is identified in statute as the following:   
  
1. Chief Probation Officer (Chair)   
2. Presiding Judge (or designee)   
3. County supervisor, CAO, or a designee of the BOS   
4. District Attorney   
5. Public Defender   
6. Sheriff   
7. Chief of Police   
8. Head of the County department of social services   
9. Head of the County department of mental health   
10. Head of the County department of employment   
11. Head of the County alcohol and substance abuse programs   
12. Head of the County Office of Education   
13. CBO representative with experience in rehabilitative services for criminal offenders   
14. Victims’ representative   
  
Later in 2011, the Governor signed Assembly Bill 117 (Chapter 39, Statutes of 2011), which served as “clean up” legislation to AB 109. Assembly Bill 117 (AB 117) changed, among other things, the composition of the local CCP-Executive Committee. The CCP-Executive Committee is currently identified in statute as the following:   
  
1. Chief Probation Officer (Chair)   
2. Presiding Judge (or designee)   
3. District Attorney   
4. Public Defender   
5. Sheriff   
6. A Chief of Police   
7. The head of either the County department of social services, mental health, or alcohol and drug services (as designated by the board of supervisors)   
  
Although AB 109 and AB 117 collectively place the majority of initial planning activities for Realignment on the local CCP, it is important to note that neither piece of legislation cedes powers vested in a county Board of Supervisors’ oversight of and purview over how AB 109 funding is spent and the Board of Supervisors can choose to implement that Plan in any manner it may wish.  
  
Today's recommended Board action formally adopts the CCP's bylaws, which were approved unanimously by the partnership on April, 23, 2021.

The CCP's bylaws will not have been formally adopted by your Board, which is necessary to comply with Article VI of the bylaws.
