Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: The proposed FY 2007-08 State allocation for this Program was $343,081 which included a FY 2006-07 carry forward of $96,039. Following the final review and approval of the FY 2007-08 State budget by the Governor, Public Health was notified that the allocation for this Program would only be $107,016. This amount, in combination with the FY 2006-07 carry forward, brings the total FY 2007-08 State allocation to $203,055, decreasing the originally budgeted allocation by $140,026. There is no associated Net County Cost.

OTP was established in Fiscal Year (FY) 2006-07, per Assembly Bill 1808, which appropriates $25 million to counties throughout the state for the treatment of non-violent drug offenders. These funds are used to serve offenders who qualify for services under SACPA, also known as Prop 36. The goal of OTP is to improve SACPA program outcomes and offender accountability, including increased show rates, retention and completion outcomes.
