The funds described in Provisions 1 and 2 are available for encumbrance or expenditure until June 30, 2024.

Costs associated with providing services to and monitoring of individuals released pretrial. The pretrial services agencies shall implement evidence-based monitoring practices of defendants released prearraignment and pretrial with the least restrictive interventions and practices necessary to enhance public safety and ensure the defendants’ return to court. Electronic monitoring that is funded under this program may only be used in limited cases after other less restrictive interventions are deemed insufficient to enhance public safety and to ensure the defendant’s return to court.

Other programs and practices related to pretrial decisionmaking that address public safety, appearance in court, and the efficient and fair administration of justice.

Courts shall contract with any county department, including county probation departments, to provide pretrial services, except those departments or agencies that have primary responsibility for making arrests or prosecuting criminal offenses.

The Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco, may contract with the Sheriff’s Office and the existing not-for-profit entity that is performing pretrial services in the city and county for pretrial assessment and supervision services.

The county department with which the court has contracted is not precluded from contracting with community-based organizations to provide complementary or supportive services in furtherance of the county department’s pretrial release services if all of the following conditions have been satisfied:

The contractor adheres to the same transparency, accountability, and outcome measure standards that apply to county probation departments.

The contractor has a proven record of providing culturally competent and responsive rehabilitative services.

The contract will not result in the displacement of county employees or a reduction in the provision of services by county probation department employees.

The contractor does not pay wages and benefits to its most highly compensated executive and managerial employees that are significantly higher than the rates that would be paid to public employees performing similar job duties.

The county has consulted with the court prior to entering into a contract for the provision of these services.

Of the amount allocated in Provision 9, superior courts may retain up to 30 percent of the funding for costs associated with these programs and practices. The superior courts shall contract with a county department as described in Provision 12 and shall provide the county department with the remainder of the funds to be used for costs outlined in Provision 11, as appropriate.

The Judicial Council shall retain up to 5 percent of the amount available to the superior courts in Provision 15 for costs associated with implementing, supporting, and evaluating pretrial programs in courts, including, but not limited to:

Providing technical assistance to courts on practices and programs related to pretrial decisionmaking.

Providing judicial education.

Evaluating pretrial programs and practices funded through this program.
