2011-S65A (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S65A

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the executive law and the state finance law,
in relation to establishing a
juvenile justice smart investment program for the purpose
of reducing juvenile justice placements through program
modifications and services

PURPOSE:
To reinvest savings from reduced reliance on juvenile justice
facilities in the Juvenile Justice Smart Investment Program.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 of the bill amends the executive law allowing for savings
from the reduced costs of maintaining juvenile justice facilities in
the juvenile justice smart investment program. The fund can only be
used to fund programs and services for youth which avert
institutional placements.

Section 3 is the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:
The Governor's Task Force on Juvenile Justice report recommends that
savings from juvenile justice facility closures be reinvested in the

juvenile justice system, where it can be utilized to address the
needs of those same children.

Many of the youth who are placed in juvenile justice facilities are
not there because they represent a risk to public safety- indeed, the
majority of these youth have been convicted of misdemeanor offenses.
These youth have been placed in these facilities because there are
not adequate social service or mental health resources available to
them in their communities. As New York transitions away from an over
reliance on costly institutional placements, we should reinvest the
funds in programs that have demonstrated success in addressing the
needs of these youth

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
Passed the Senate Committee on Children and Families on February 26,
2010; Referred to and died in Senate Finance on March 9, 2010;
Referred to and died in Assembly Children and Families Committee.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None. Would potentially result in a cost savings to the state and
local governments because of costly residential placement of juveniles.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
April 1, 2012
