Bill > AB2378

This bill establishes the Office of Community Violence Intervention within the Board of State and Community Corrections, which will be led by a director appointed by the board, to advise on violence intervention policies, provide technical assistance to organizations and grant recipients, and produce a report every two years on community violence intervention and prevention. The bill also designates this new office to administer the California Violence Intervention and Prevention Grant Program (CalVIP), which provides grants to cities disproportionately affected by gun violence for violence reduction initiatives, and requires the office to recommend grant awardees to the board. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the board reserve at least $1,000,000, and up to 5% of the program's funds annually, for the Office of Community Violence Intervention to cover its administrative costs and efforts to promote program effectiveness, a slight increase from the previous maximum reservation of $2,000,000.
