The San Francisco Sentencing Commission is scheduled to sunset on June 30, 2023.

This ordinance would extend the sunset date of the San Francisco Sentencing Commission to June 30, 2026.

The Commission's existence will continue beyond June 30, 2023, allowing it to carry out its mandate until at least June 30, 2026.

The San Francisco Sentencing Commission, established in 2012, was designed to develop criminal sentencing strategies to reduce recidivism, prioritize safety, fairness, and efficient use of resources. The Commission recommends its own continuation to further these goals.

The ordinance extending the sunset date was recommended as a committee report after a vote during the Rules Committee Meeting and to be presented to the Board of Supervisors.

If not reauthorized by adopting an ordinance, the Article is to be removed from the Administrative Code by the City Attorney.
