Of the amount appropriated in Schedule (1), $75,000,000 shall be allocated to the Judicial Council to fund the implementation,

populations, exchange of pretrial risk assessment information between the courts and county probation departments, data exchanges
among the courts and county probation departments prior to arraignment, contracts between the courts and county probation
departments to conduct pretrial risk assessments, judicial officer release and detention decisionmaking prior to arraignment,
court reminders, and other projects related to pretrial decisionmaking that enhance public safety, appearance in court, and
the efficient and fair administration of justice. In selecting its pilot courts, the Judicial Council should seek a diversity
in
court size, location, court case management systems, and other appropriate factors. Funds may be used for local costs
and a county match of resources is not required. Of these funds, 10 percent shall be used by the Judicial Council for costs
associated with implementing and evaluating these programs, including, but not limited to: facilitating the exchange of information
between probation departments and courts, identifying effective pretrial risk assessment tools and potential bias in the tools,
and aiding the courts in implementing the pilots. The amount allocated shall be available for encumbrance or expenditure until
June 30, 2021. The goals of this pilot are to (a) increase the safe and efficient prearraignment and pretrial release of individuals booked
into jail by expanding own recognizance and monitored release; (b) implement monitoring practices of those released prearraignment
and pretrial with the least
restrictive interventions and practices necessary to enhance public safety and return to court; (c) expand the use and
validation of pretrial risk assessment tools that make their factors, weights, and studies publicly available; and (d) assess
any disparate impact or bias that may result from the implementation of these programs in order to better understand and reduce
biases based on race, ethnicity, and gender in pretrial release decisionmaking. The amount allocated shall be available for
encumbrance or expenditure until June 30, 2021.
|
|
|
4. |

of a new criminal offense if the person is released before adjudication of the person’s criminal offense.
|
|
|
5. |
The amount provided in Provision 3 may be used for the following: |

systems, risk assessment tools, including those tools that require an interview and those that do not, and other appropriate
factors. If the County of Santa Clara, applies for and receives funds through this pilot program, the superior court may contract
with Office of Pretrial Services in that county to conduct risk assessments, provide monitoring, and meet the other requirements
