   AB 2568, as introduced, Eng. Crimes: parole violations: reduction.

   Existing law authorizes the Department of Corrections and

prison overcrowding, and improve public safety.
   This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would develop an approach to require law enforcement
agencies to develop policies that would facilitate reporting of the
crimes of Asian Americans and Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific
Islanders, and develop and implement culturally appropriate services
and reintegration of formerly incarcerated Asian Americans and Native
Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders juveniles and adults into
their communities to reduce parole violations.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
