Official statutory text
(a) Funds which were set aside initially as provided by Sections 4497.24 to 4497.30, inclusive, that are not used and funds that were allocated under the provisions of the County Correctional Facility Capital Expenditure Bond Act of 1986 that are not used shall be allocated by the Department of the Youth Authority to those counties that received an allocation under Section 4497.28 which was not sufficient to fund the remaining portion of the total cost of the approved projects. The amount of each of those county’s allocation shall be that county’s per capita share of the total funds available for all counties with partially funded projects, or the amount needed to complete funding of that county’s approved projects, whichever is less. At no time shall the allocation exceed 75 percent of the total eligible costs.
(b) The allocation procedure described in subdivision (a) shall be repeated until all of the available funds are awarded.
(c) Funds awarded by the Department of the Youth Authority under this section shall be used for the construction, reconstruction, remodeling, or replacement of county juvenile facilities, and for the performance of deferred maintenance on juvenile facilities, but may only be used for the purpose of reducing current overcrowding and eliminating health, fire, and life safety hazards.
