CA SB1106

Extends the deferred entry of judgment pilot program authorization in Alameda, Butte, Napa, Nevada, and Santa Clara counties from January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2022, and adds Ventura County to the program.

Allows defendants ages 18-20 charged with felonies (with specified exceptions) to participate in the program if they plead guilty, meet eligibility requirements, and serve no longer than one year in a county juvenile hall rather than adult jail.

Requires eligible defendants to show suitability through a risk assessment tool and ability to benefit from juvenile-system services including cognitive behavioral therapy, mental health services, and educational/vocational programs.

Prohibits program participation for defendants with prior convictions for violent felonies, sex offenses, or certain serious crimes listed under Penal Code sections 1192.7 and 667.5, or those required to register as sex offenders.

Requires the Board of State and Community Corrections to submit a comprehensive evaluation report to the Assembly and Senate Committees on Public Safety by December 31, 2020, assessing the program's impact on sentencing, community supervision opportunities, and recidivism rates.
