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 defendants 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 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 7, superior courts may retain up to 30 percent of the funding for costs associated with these programs and practices.

To receive the funding allocated in Provision 7, courts and county departments and their contractors shall collaborate with local justice system partners in reporting to the Judicial Council on pretrial programs and practices, including information on expenditure of funds, as required by the Judicial Council, for evaluation of the programs and practices.

The Judicial Council may reallocate unspent funds from counties to other counties with demonstrated needs.

Notwithstanding the competitive nature of these grants, the Legal Services Trust Fund Commission shall use a formula to determine the amount of funding to provide representation in CARE Act proceedings, matters related to CARE agreements, and CARE plans in each county.

These grants are to serve the counties described in subdivisions (a) and (b) of Section 5970.5 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. The Legal Services Trust Fund Commission shall provide any funds not awarded to qualified legal services projects for representation in CARE Act proceedings, matters related to CARE agreements, and CARE plans in each county to that county’s public defender office, public defender services shared with another county, or organization providing public defender services to the county to provide those services.

The Legal Services Trust Fund Commission of the State Bar shall seek proposals from qualified legal services projects to provide legal counsel pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 5976 of the Welfare and Institutions Code for a three-year period.

If funds are provided to a county for public defender services pursuant to this item, an associated funding commitment shall also be provided for a three-year period.

These funds shall be distributed by the Judicial Council through the Legal Services Trust Fund Commission of the State Bar of California by December 1, 2026, as grants to qualified support centers or other entities that have expertise in providing legal training and technical assistance to legal aid providers or public defenders. The Legal Services Trust Fund Commission shall provide any funds not awarded for legal training and technical assistance related to the implementation of the CARE Act to qualified legal services projects and public defender offices to provide legal counsel pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 5976 of the Welfare and Institutions Code for representation in CARE Act proceedings, matters related to CARE agreements, and CARE plans by December 1, 2026. Funds under this provision shall be available for encumbrance or expenditure by recipients until January 1, 2028.

If any funds in Provision 15 remain after grants are awarded, upon order of the Department of Finance, up to $275,000 shall be transferred to Item 8140-001-0001 for the State Public Defender to provide legal training and technical assistance to legal aid providers or public defenders.
