Summary of Request

AB 505 (Ting) seeks to make substantive changes to several key provisions of SB 823, the 2020 legislation that realigned full responsibility for the juvenile justice continuum to county governments. AB 505, at its core, disrupts the vital governance principle that authority must follow responsibility by upending three important aspects of the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) realignment framework that were the subject of considerable negotiation during deliberations on SB 823. Provisions in that measure are explicit with respect to realigning responsibility from the state to county governments for the population of young people who previously were eligible for placement in a DJJ facility. Mendocino County opposes AB 505.
