Summary
The bill directs every county’s board of supervisors to name a public‑defender liaison, gather specific information about how public defense is provided, and send that data to the State Public Defender’s office biennially starting in 2029. The State office will then post a summary online, and any state‑mandated costs will be reimbursed to local agencies.
