SB36: Pretrial Pilot Program
As part of the Budget Act of 2019, the Legislature allocated $75 million to the Judicial Council to fund the implementation, operation, and evaluation of court pilot projects related to pretrial decision-making. The Budget Act requires that pilot courts collaborate with local justice system partners to make data available to the Judicial Council as required to measure the outcomes of the pilots. The Judicial Council is required to administer the program and report to the Department of Finance and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee every six months.

Pretrial Pilot Program Aggregated Data Report, July 2021
Senate Bill 36 states that a pretrial risk assessment tool shall be validated using the most recent data collected by the pretrial services agency within its jurisdiction, or, if that data is unavailable, using the most recent data collected by a pretrial services agency in a similar jurisdiction within California.
Because many counties did not have sufficient data available to conduct a validation, the report released by the Judicial Council of California may be referenced. (Penal Code sections 1320.35(b)(4) and 1320.35(c)(2))
Transparency Requirements
Senate Bill 36 states that a pretrial services agency shall make the line items, scoring, and weighting as well as details on how each line item is scored, for the pretrial risk assessment used by the agency. (Penal Code section 1320.35(d))
