CA AB1783

Requires the Board of State and Community Corrections to collect and analyze recidivism data starting July 1, 2019, for persons receiving felony sentences in county jail or placed on postrelease community supervision, in consultation with courts, counties, sheriffs, district attorneys, and probation officers.

Mandates the board make recidivism data publicly available on its website on a quarterly basis beginning September 1, 2020, including recidivism rates at one, two, and three years after release.

Authorizes county sheriffs and county probation departments to access quarterly wage data from the Employment Development Department for former inmates incarcerated in county jail for felonies or supervised on postrelease or mandatory supervision to assess rehabilitation service effectiveness.

Specifies wage data access is limited to tracking employment outcomes and wages for one, three, and five years following release to evaluate rehabilitation strategy effectiveness.

Establishes that no state reimbursement is required for local costs because the bill creates new crimes or changes criminal penalties under Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
