2025-2026; criminal justice
SB 1739 creates a statewide program for counties to establish coordinated reentry planning services for people leaving jail. It requires counties to use a cross-system database tracking mental health, substance use, housing, and employment needs to connect individuals with treatment and services before and after release. Counties must form planning committees including law enforcement, courts, and community stakeholders, and report annually on screening results, recidivism rates, and service connections. The bill also establishes an anti-racketeering fund to collect forfeiture money for gang prevention, victim assistance, and law enforcement costs, with restrictions on using funds for attorney general office salaries after 2027. This directly affects county jails, service providers, and individuals in the criminal justice system.
