California Conservation Corps: contracts: community conservation corps.

Existing law establishes the California Conservation Corps in the Natural Resources Agency. Existing law, until January 1, 2024, authorizes the corps to enter into a contract with an individual or collective of certified community conservation corps for a project or program that furthers certain purposes of the corps and consists of one or more specified types of projects, programs, or services, including natural resources and land management projects. Existing law requires the corps to file a report on the success of any such program or project with the Legislature, as provided, before January 1, 2023. This bill would extend the authorization for the corps to enter into these contracts with certified community conservation corps indefinitely. The bill would require the corps, on or before January 1, 2025, January 1, 2027, and January 1, 2029, to file a report with the appropriate committees of the Legislature on the outcomes of any program or project, as provided.
