What can counties do to ensure that funding continues after the sunset date?
Counties should be talking to their Assembly Members and Senators about their Proposition 36 services and programs and how the loss of state funding will impact treatment and supervision. Additionally, counties should consider taking members of the Legislature on tours of their Proposition 36 programs. Counties should also share relevant treatment and outcomes data. Funding reauthorization will be a priority for CSAC in 2006. However, it is crucial that members of the Legislature understand how their individual districts are affected.
