AI Summary

This bill creates the Juvenile Detention Facilities Improvement Grant Program, to be administered by the Board of State and Community Corrections. The program will provide grants to counties of the first class (defined as those with a population of 4 million or more, which in this case refers to Los Angeles County) to address critical infrastructure needs of juvenile detention facilities. To receive grants, counties must prepare a plan for capital improvements that will enhance the rehabilitation function of their facilities. The bill specifies that funds can only be used for certain purposes, such as modernizing housing units or providing rehabilitative programming, and cannot result in an increase in county rated capacity. The board must submit a report to the Legislature by January 1, 2025, detailing the grants awarded and projects funded through the program.
