On cspan. I was tremendously grateful that god would give me another chance. I had been rescued. When i was confronted with addiction, i made my mind i was going to survive that. Program on betty for today at 7 00 p. M. Eastern on cspan and live monday night our series continues. They covered my Mental Health work, the first few meetings i had, and then they never showed up anymore. Walking on the floor in the white house, i met one of the press people. Said nobody ever comes to meetings. She said it is not a sexy issue. Foundred the country, and that what was needed, develop legislation, and past the Mental Health assistance act of 1980. Monthsed congress one before he voluntarily retired the the white house and next president never implemented it. One of the greatest disappointments of my life. Next, a subcommittee examining the disability claims backlog at the veteran affairs department. This first group of what mrs. Two veteranut affairs. This is 50 minutes. This meaning will now c
And this is more. So here is the and the delima for me is that would you have committed to verbally and what you just read is not necessarily the same and what i would like to see is to have some language in here to indicate that they will do this consultation and go through the process that you have described. And that is once you do that, i will feel a lot more comfortable in supporting this piece of legislation. Is it possible to put in some language . I think that chair campos was alluding to how do we do this, and can we do some amenment to this. Administratively if i may this is still familiar territory to me and so we were not happy to save you the time and we will submit suggested amendment and we should have a full court participation by others, from the criminal Justice System here to speak about this. And i think that it is important that we have a representative from the District Attorney office from the courts, and from others, so that we can really get a more clear depict
Review a 1203. 018, subsection d, which says that the board of supervisors, after consulting with the sheriff and the District Attorney may prescribe reasonable regulations, and it will take into account all of the factors listed of who will be eligible but also make it part of the understanding that once a person is eligible, it would be up to whatever you want to decide, the court to have the final determination in that instance, whether the person goes on em. Or how you want to implement the actual program. Mr. Gibner in terms of sort of making that clear, how would you go about doing that . I think that what is subsection d, of 1203. 018 provides us that the board as a department is indicating, the board has the power to adopt the rules and regulations about how this program is going to work. This legislation is not adopting those rules and regulations, the state law provides when the board does adopt, or if the board chooses to adopt additional rules, regarding this program, the b
Be the ones who are able to respond. What concerns me, is that when there has been rejection by the Sheriffs Department, for people who have been asked to be put on electronic monitoring and then others within the city criminal justice said to put them on electronic monitoring but it is not within our department. And that is why, this legislation aims to foster much better collaboration with the courts da and others, because of the question of liability. Okay. And that makes a lot more sense, in regards to what you were saying and what i was reading. So i appreciate that. And the other question that i had is, you talk about consultation with the other departments like the da . I just, and could you give me a sense of conductation. That someone may not want to go on the monitoring or just the opposite, that information, is not fluid, and it should be with the District Attorney office and or the public defender and or the courts. And again, the two primary correctional administrators but
Language . I think that chair campos was alluding to how do we do this, and can we do some amenment to this. Administratively if i may this is still familiar territory to me and so we were not happy to save you the time and we will submit suggested amendment and we should have a full court participation by others, from the criminal Justice System here to speak about this. And i think that it is important that we have a representative from the District Attorney office from the courts, and from others, so that we can really get a more clear depiction as to the reality of what is occurring and where we want to go. And that is exactly what this legislation aims for. I agree with you. So i would like to continue this item. So that we could recommend some language and also, to have a fuller discussion about what the other parties. Not a problem. Not a problem at all. And i want to say, and i want to take the Public Comment. That i really appreciate the openness and the willingness of the She
