Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
October 19, 2021, the Board of Supervisors accepted the presentation of the Mendocino County California Juvenile Justice Realignment Block Grant (JJRBG) Annual Plan for FY 2021-22.
Summary of Request:
On September 30, 2020, Senate Bill (SB) 823 was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom. Some of the SB 823 bill highlights included the cessation of intakes to the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) and the complete closure of DJJ, adjustment of the local age of jurisdiction for commitments, establishment of the Office of Youth and Community Restoration (OYCR) and the Juvenile Justice Realignment Block Grant (JJRBG) program.
The bill initiated the closing of DJJ and realigned the responsibility for those youth formerly eligible for commitment to DJJ to the counties. Effective July 1, 2021, intake to DJJ ceased, transferring custodial care, supervision and rehabilitative needs and requirements to local jurisdictions. Youth already committed to DJJ remained until completion of their program or the complete closure of all DJJ facilities on June 30, 2023, whichever occurred first. The bill also amended Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) Section 607 to extend the age of juvenile court jurisdiction up to age 23 or 25 and amended Section 208.5 to extend the age of confinement up to age 25 for youth adjudicated for serious offenses.
SB 823 established the JJRBG program providing funding allocations to counties based upon custody, care and supervision of youth who are realigned to their originating counties from DJJ or who were otherwise eligible for commitment to DJJ. To be eligible for the JJRBG funding, counties are required to create a subcommittee of the multiagency Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC) to develop the Juvenile Justice Realignment Block Grant (JJRBG) plan. Pursuant to WIC §1995(e), to continue receiving funding, the subcommittee shall convene no less frequently than twice per year to consider the plan and shall update the plan annually. The plan shall be developed with review and participation of the subcommittee community members and shall be approved by a majority of the subcommittee. The plan shall be submitted to the OYCR by May 1st of each year.
Effective July 1, 2021, pursuant to SB 823, the OYCR was created and operates within the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA). The mission of the OYCR is to promote trauma-responsive, culturally informed, gender honoring, and developmentally appropriate services for youth involved in the juvenile justice system that support the youths’ successful transition into adulthood.
