Major Program Changes
  • General Fund support for the Citizens Option for Public Safety/Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act program is reduced by $89.3 million in 2008-09, and eliminated in 2009-10. These reductions will be backfilled from the Local Safety and Protection Account in the amount of $53.8 million in 2008-09, and $191.6 million in 2009-10. Funding for the Local Safety and Protection Account comes from vehicle license fee revenue formerly used to support the Department of Motor Vehicles. These changes will result in $214.2 million in ongoing General Fund savings beginning in 2009-10.

  • General Fund support for the Booking Fees program is eliminated in 2009-10, for annual savings of $31.5 million. The reduction will be fully backfilled with revenues from the Local Safety and Protection Account described above.

  • The Governor's Budget proposes to eliminate $151.8 million in General Fund support for local juvenile probation activities in 2009-10. This reduction is partially offset with $135.9 million from the Local Safety and Protection Account.

  • General Fund support for the Small/Rural Sheriffs program is eliminated in 2009-10, for annual savings of $18.5 million.
