                                 BILL NUMBER:  S6710

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the executive law, in relation to directing the office
of children and family services to determine the amount to be
reinvested in the juvenile justice smart investment program each year
for the purpose of reducing the juvenile justice placements through
program modifications and services


 PURPOSE OF THE BILL :

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

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC 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 2 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.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
New Bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS :
To be determined.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
