CA SB472

Authorizes the Board of State and Community Corrections to award a new round of grants to 5 counties starting July 1, 2022, contingent on legislative appropriation to the newly created Social Innovation Fund.

Grants range from $1 million to $10 million per county with a total cap of $26 million, requiring counties to match grants with equal amounts of county, federal, private, or philanthropic funds.

Allows the board to use up to 2% of appropriated funds to award microgrants to counties developing pay-for-success contract proposals.

Requires counties to report annually on program status, accounting of funds, and impact on recidivism using a standard definition prescribed by the board.

Extends the program repeal date from January 1, 2031, to January 1, 2028.
