Establishes the office of pretrial services
This bill creates a new Office of Pretrial Services to oversee and certify agencies that supervise people released from jail without paying money. The office will set minimum standards for these agencies, which must be non-profit or public entities, and explicitly bans private for-profit companies from providing these services. Certified agencies must demonstrate they can help individuals access needed support like housing, mental health care, and job training while ensuring they return to court. The bill also requires the office to publish annual reports with detailed statistics on supervision outcomes and prohibits individuals from having to pay out-of-pocket for any mandated services.
