   This bill, the Public Safety and Offender Rehabilitation Services
Act of 2007 would authorize the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation to design, construct, or renovate prison housing
units, prison support buildings, and programming space in order to
add up to 7,484 beds, to acquire land, design, construct, and
renovate reentry program facilities, and to construct and establish
new buildings at facilities under the jurisdiction of the department
to provide medical, dental, and mental health treatment or housing
for 6,000, as specified. This bill would also authorize the State

the design, construction, and the costs of interim financing of these
projects and would appropriate those funds for that purpose.
   In addition, this bill would authorize the department to design,
construct, or renovate prison housing units, prison support
buildings, and programming space in order to add 4,000 beds at
existing prison facilities, to design, construct, and establish new
buildings at facilities under the jurisdiction of the department to
provide medical, dental, and mental health treatment or housing for
2,000 inmates and to construct, establish, and operate reentry
program facilities throughout the state that will house up to an
additional 10,000 inmates. This bill would also authorize the State
Public Works Board to issue revenue bonds, negotiable notes, or
negotiable bond anticipation notes pursuant to this part to finance
the design, construction, and the costs of interim financing of these
projects and would appropriate those funds for that purpose,
however, the board may not release these funds until a 3-member panel
has certified that specified requirements have been met. This bill
would provide that the authority provided by these provisions shall
expire on January 1, 2014, and no project shall be commenced after
that date, but projects already commenced may be completed.
   This bill would authorize the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation, a participating county, as defined, and the State
Public Works Board to enter into a construction agreement in order to
acquire, design, and construct a local jail facility approved by the
Corrections Standards Authority, as specified. This bill would
authorize the board to issue up to $750,000,000 in revenue bonds,
notes, or bond anticipation notes to finance the acquisition, design,
or construction of approved local jail facilities and would
appropriate those funds for that purpose. This bill would provide
that these provisions would become inoperative on June 30, 2017.
   In addition, this bill would authorize the Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation, a participating county, as defined,
and the State Public Works Board to enter into a construction
agreement in order to acquire, design, and construct a local jail
facility approved by the Corrections Standards Authority, as

Rehabilitation to establish pilot programs that provide training and
counseling for parolees to assist in their successful reintegration
into the community.

a system of incentives to increase inmate participation in, and
completion of, academic and vocational education, consistent with the
inmate's educational needs, as specified.
   This bill would require the department to develop and implement a
plan to obtain additional rehabilitation and treatment services for
prison inmates and parolees, as specified.
   This bill would require the department to examine and report to
the Legislature on whether the provisions of existing law related to
payments to inmates released from prison are hindering the success of
parolees and resulting in their rapid return to prison for parole
violations, as specified.
   This bill would require the department to expand substance abuse
treatment services in prisons to accommodate at least 4,000
additional inmates who have histories of substance abuse, as
specified.
   This bill would require the department to conduct assessments of
all inmates that include, but are not limited to, data regarding the
inmate's history of substance abuse, medical and mental health,
education, family background, criminal activity, and social
functioning which shall be used to place inmates in programs that
will aid in their reentry to society and that will most likely reduce
the inmate's chances of reoffending.
   This bill would authorize the department to obtain day treatment,
and to contract for crisis care services, for parolees with mental
health problems, as specified.
   This bill would require the department to develop an Inmate
Treatment and Prison-to-Employment Plan that should evaluate and
recommend changes to the Governor and the Legislature regarding
current inmate education, treatment, and rehabilitation programs to
determine whether the programs provide sufficient skills to inmates
that will likely result in their successful employment in the
community, and reduce their chances of returning to prison after
release to parole.
   This bill would state various findings and declarations regarding
improvements of a parolee's opportunity for successful reintegration
into society due to continuity of services provided both before and
after an inmate's release on parole. This bill would authorize the
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to construct, establish,
and operate reentry program facilities throughout the state that
will house up to 6,000 inmates and facilities that will house up to
an additional 10,000 inmates within one year of being released or
rereleased from custody, as specified. This bill would require that
reentry program facilities provide programming to inmates and parole
violators tailored to the specific problems faced by this population
when reintegrating into society. This bill would require the
department to develop a collaborative partnership with the local
government, local law enforcement, and community service providers in
the communities where reentry program facilities are operated.
   This bill would require the department to develop and implement,
by January 15, 2008, a plan to address management deficiencies within
the department, as specified.

Board (C-ROB) in the Office of the Inspector General to regularly
examine and report to the Legislature and Governor on the various
mental health, substance abuse, and educational and employment
programs for inmates and parolees operated by the Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation. This bill would also provide that the
board shall make recommendations with respect to modifications,
additions, and eliminations of rehabilitation and treatment programs.

   This bill would create a 3-member panel charged with verifying
whether certain conditions have been met before the State Board of
Public Works may release funds to the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation for the construction of housing and other facilities,
as specified.
   Existing law provides that the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation shall prepare plans for, and construct facilities and
renovations included within, its master plan for which funds have
been appropriated by the Legislature.
   This bill would expand provisions defining "master plan" to
include the department's plans to activate or remove temporary beds
in dayrooms, gyms, and other areas.
   Existing law requires the department to submit a site plan and
projected planning guide to the Joint Legislative Committee on Prison
Construction and Operation for each facility included in the master
plan.
   This bill would instead require the board to submit various plans
to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, as specified, and to
provide quarterly reports to the committee on the progress of funded
projects.
   This bill would require the department to meet with
representatives of cities or counties whenever the Legislature
authorizes the planning, design, or construction of new permanent
housing units to describe the scope of the project and the project
schedule, and to consider comments from the city or county
representatives regarding the project's impact.
   Existing law provides that the Joint Legislative Prison Committee
shall be reimbursed, from funds appropriated to the Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation for support, for costs, as agreed to
by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, incurred by the
committee in reviewing environmental assessment studies, as
specified.
   This bill would repeal those provisions.
   This bill would also authorize the department to use portable or
temporary buildings to provide rehabilitation, treatment, and
educational services to inmates within its custody or to house
inmates, as long a that housing does not jeopardize safety.
   This bill would state various findings and declarations regarding
staff vacancies at the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
   Existing law provides that any court or other agency or officer of
this state having power to commit or transfer an inmate to any
institution for confinement may commit or transfer that inmate to any
institution outside this state if this state has entered into a
contract or contracts for the confinement of inmates in that
institution and the inmate, if he or she was sentenced under
California law, has executed a written consent to the transfer.
   This bill would, until a specified date, eliminate the consent
requirement, except in certain circumstances.
   This bill would authorize the department to establish a training
academy for correctional officers in southern California.
   This bill would appropriate the sum of $350,000,000 from the
General Fund to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for
capital outlay to renovate, improve, or expand infrastructure
capacity at existing prison facilities and to supplement funds for
rehabilitation and treatment of prison inmates and parolees, as
specified.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.

interest of a participating county in the site or sites for a local
jail facility must be determined by the SPWB to be adequate for
purposes of its financing in order to be eligible under this chapter.

participating county may acquire, design, or construct the local jail
facility in accordance with its local contracting authority.
Notwithstanding Section 14951, the participating county may assign an
inspector during the construction of the project.
   (c) The CDCR, a participating county and the SPWB shall enter into
a construction agreement for these projects that shall provide, at a
minimum, performance expectations of the parties related to the
acquisition, design, construction, or renovation of the local jail
facility, guidelines and criteria for use and application of the
proceeds of revenue bonds, notes, or bond anticipation notes issued
by the SPWB to pay for the cost of the approved local jail facility
project and ongoing maintenance and staffing responsibilities for the
term of the financing.
   (d) The construction agreement shall include a provision that the
participating county agrees to indemnify, defend, and save harmless
the State of California for any and all claims and losses arising out
of the acquisition, design, and construction of the project. The
construction agreement may also contain additional terms and
conditions that facilitate the financing by the SPWB.
   (e) The scope and cost of these approved local jail facility
projects shall be subject to approval and administrative oversight by
the SPWB.
   (f) For purposes of compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (Division 13 of the Public Resources Code (commencing
with Section 210000)), neither the SPWB nor the CDCR shall be deemed
a lead or responsible agency; the participating county is the lead
agency.
   15820.902.  Upon a participating county's receipt of responsive
construction bids, the SPWB and the CDCR may borrow funds for project
costs after the project has been certified pursuant to Section

costs of acquisition, preliminary plans, working drawings, and
construction for approved projects.

section and Section 15820.902 are continuously appropriated for
purposes of this chapter.
   (d) This section shall become inoperative on June 30, 2017.
   15820.905.  With the consent of the SPWB, the CDCR, and a
participating county are authorized to enter into leases or
subleases, as lessor or lessee, for any property or approved project
and are further authorized to enter into contracts or other
agreements for the use, maintenance, and operation of the local jail
facility in order to facilitate the financing authorized by this
chapter. In those leases, subleases, or other agreements, the
participating county shall agree to indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless the State of California for any and all claims and losses
accruing and resulting from or arising out of the participating
county's use and occupancy of the local jail facility.
   15820.906.  (a) The CSA shall adhere to its duly adopted
regulations for the approval or disapproval of local jail facilities.
The CSA shall also consider cost-effectiveness in determining
approval or disapproval. No state moneys shall be encumbered in
contracts let by a participating county until final architectural
plans and specifications have been approved by the CSA, and
subsequent construction bids have been received. The review and
approval of plans, specifications, or other documents by the CSA are
for the purpose of ensuring proper administration of moneys and
determination of whether the project specifications comply with law
and regulation. The CSA may require changes in construction materials
to enhance safety and security if materials proposed at the time of
final plans and specifications are not essential and customary as
used statewide for facilities of the same security level.
Participating counties are responsible for the acquisition, design,
construction, staffing, operation, repair, and maintenance of the
project.
   (b) The CSA shall establish minimum standards, funding schedules
and procedures, which shall take into consideration, but not be
limited to, the following:

   (3) A written project proposal.
   (4) Submittal of a staffing plan for the project, including
operational cost projections and documentation that the local jail
facility will be able to be safety staffed and operated within 90
days of completion.
   (5) Submittal of architectural drawings, which shall be approved
by the CSA for compliance with minimum adult detention facility
standards and which shall also be approved by the State Fire Marshal
for compliance with fire safety and life safety requirements.
   (6) Documentation evidencing the filing by a participating county
of a final notice of determination on its environmental impact
report.
   (7) Provisions intended to maintain the tax-exempt status of the
bonds, notes, or bond anticipation notes issued by the SPWB.
   15820.907.  (a)  Participating county matching funds for projects
funded under this chapter shall be a minimum of 25 percent of the
total project costs. The CSA may reduce matching fund requirements
for participating counties with a general population below 200,000
upon petition by a participating county to the CSA requesting a lower
level of matching funds.
   (b) The CDCR and CSA shall give funding preference to counties
that assist the state in siting reentry facilities, pursuant to
Section 6270.
   (c) The CDCR and CSA shall give funding preference to counties
that assist the state in siting mental health day treatment and
crisis care, pursuant to Section 3073 of the Penal Code, and to
counties who provide a continuum of care so that parolees with mental
health and substance abuse needs can continue to receive services at
the conclusion of their period of parole.

interest of a participating county in the site or sites for a local
jail facility must be determined by the SPWB to be adequate for
purposes of its financing in order to be eligible under this chapter.

   (b) Notwithstanding Section 15815, a participating county may
acquire, design, or construct the local jail facility in accordance
with its local contracting authority. Notwithstanding Section 14951,
the participating county may assign an inspector during the
construction of the project.
   (c) The CDCR, a participating county and the SPWB shall enter into
a construction agreement for these projects that shall provide, at a
minimum, performance expectations of the parties related to the
acquisition, design, construction, or renovation of the local jail
facility, guidelines and criteria for use and application of the
proceeds of revenue bonds, notes, or bond anticipation notes issued
by the SPWB to pay for the cost of the approved local jail facility
project and ongoing maintenance and staffing responsibilities for the
term of the financing.
   (d) The construction agreement shall include a provision that the
participating county agrees to indemnify, defend, and save harmless
the State of California for any and all claims and losses arising out
of the acquisition, design, and construction of the project. The
construction agreement may also contain additional terms and
conditions that facilitate the financing by the SPWB.
   (e) The scope and cost of these approved local jail facility
projects shall be subject to approval and administrative oversight by
the SPWB.
   (f) For purposes of compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (Division 13 of the Public Resources Code (commencing at

acquisition, design, or construction, and a reasonable construction
reserve, of approved local jail facilities described in Section
15820.911.

notes may be used to reimburse a participating county for the costs
of acquisition, preliminary plans, working drawings, and construction
for approved projects.

participating county are authorized to enter into leases or
subleases, as lessor or lessee, for any property or approved project
and are further authorized to enter into contracts or other
agreements for the use, maintenance, and operation of the local jail
facility in order to facilitate the financing authorized by this
chapter. In those leases, subleases, or other agreements, the
participating county shall agree to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the State of California for any and all claims and losses
accruing and resulting from or arising out of the participating
county's use and occupancy of the local jail facility.
   15820.916.  (a) The CSA shall adhere to its duly adopted
regulations for the approval or disapproval of local jail facilities.
The CSA shall also consider cost-effectiveness in determining
approval or disapproval. No state moneys shall be encumbered in
contracts let by a participating county until final architectural
plans and specifications have been approved by the CSA, and
subsequent construction bids have been received. The review and
approval of plans, specifications, or other documents by the CSA are
for the purpose of ensuring proper administration of moneys and
determination of whether the project specifications comply with law
and regulation. The CSA may require changes in construction materials
to enhance safety and security if materials proposed at the time of
final plans and specifications are not essential and customary as
used statewide for facilities of the same security level.
Participating counties are responsible for the acquisition, design,
construction, staffing, operation, repair, and maintenance of the
project.
   (b) The CSA shall establish minimum standards, funding schedules,
and procedures, which shall take into consideration, but not be

by the CSA for compliance with minimum adult detention facility
standards and which shall also be approved by the State Fire Marshal
for compliance with fire safety and life safety requirements.
   (6) Documentation evidencing the filing by a participating county
of a final notice of determination on its environmental impact
report.
   (7) Provisions intended to maintain the tax-exempt status of the
bonds, notes, or bond anticipation notes issued by the SPWB.
   15820.917.  (a) Participating county matching funds for projects
funded under this chapter shall be a minimum of 25 percent of the
total project costs. The CSA may reduce matching fund requirements
for participating counties with a general population below 200,000
upon petition by a participating county to the CSA requesting a lower
level of matching funds.
   (b) The CDCR and CSA shall give funding preference to counties
that assist the state in siting reentry facilities, pursuant to
Section 6270.
   (c) The department shall give funding preference to counties that
assist the state in siting mental health day treatment and crisis
care, pursuant to Section 3073 of the Penal Code, and to counties who
provide a continuum of care so that parolees with mental health and
substance abuse needs can continue to receive services at the
conclusion of their period of parole.
   15820.918.  The CDCR and CSA may not award funds under this
chapter until the panel created pursuant to Section 7021 of the Penal

172,000. More than 16,000 inmates are being housed in buildings that
were not designed as housing units, and all capacity in these
nontraditional spaces will be exhausted during June 2007. In order to
provide prison capacity beyond 2007, it is necessary that this act
take effect immediately.
