California AB2605 mandates county public defenders to collect and report data on public defense services to the State Public Defender.

California AB2605 requires the board of supervisors in each county to specify a contact person to collect detailed data on public defense services. This includes explanations of the public defense system, case assignment methods, budget and expenditures, funded positions, case assignments, and compensation models. The collected data must be reported to the Office of the State Public Defender every two years starting January 1, 2029. The office will then create a summary report of this data and post it on its website.
