Background:
In May 2007, Assembly Bill 900 (Chapter 7, Statutes of 2007), the Public Safety and Offender Rehabilitation Services Act of 2007 was signed into law. In April 2011, the 2011 Realignment Legislation Addressing Public Safety (AB 111, Chapter 16, Statutes of 2011) became law, followed by AB 94 (Chapter 23, Statutes of 2011), in May 2011, with additional provisions to the 2011 Realignment Legislation Addressing Public Safety. Both AB 111 and AB 94 amended the provisions in AB 900 with respect to the administration of local jail construction financing. Those requirements are now reflected in Government Code Sections 15820.90 through and 15820.917. Specifically, Sections 15820.906 and 15820.916 require the CSA to adopt regulations for the approval or disapproval of local jail facilities.
On November 28, 2008, the 2007 Local Jail Construction Funding Program Title 15 regulations were effective. These regulations describe the CSA's responsibilities pertaining to the administration local jail construction financing. Since then, these regulations have been revised twice (regulatory actions approved November 16, 2010 and May 26, 2011.
