. (a) A county may develop a multiagency plan to prepare and
enhance nonviolent felony offenders' successful reentry into the

of, the presiding judge, the chief probation officer, the district
attorney, the local custodial agency, and the public defender, or

report shall also include, but not be limited to, the offender's
treatment, literacy, and vocational needs. Any sentence imposed
pursuant to this section shall include a recommendation for
completion while in state prison, all relevant programs to address
those needs identified in the assessment.

to enter into an agreement with up to three counties to implement

probation department carrying out the assessment. The Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation, to the extent feasible, shall provide
to the offender all programs pursuant to the court's recommendation.
