Moneys in the fund may be available for the construction, reconstruction, remodeling, and replacement of county jail facilities, including, but not limited to, separate facilities for care of mentally ill inmates and persons arrested because of intoxication, and the performance of deferred maintenance on county jail facilities except that up to twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) of the money in the fund shall be available for the construction, reconstruction, remodeling, and replacement of county juvenile facilities, and the performance of deferred maintenance on county juvenile facilities. However, deferred maintenance for jails and juvenile facilities shall only include items with a useful life of at least 10 years.
Expenditure shall be made only if county matching funds of 25 percent are provided as determined by the Legislature, except that this requirement may be modified or waived by the Legislature where it determines that it is necessary to facilitate the expeditious and equitable construction of state and local correctional facilities.
Terms Used In California Penal Code 4485
- county: includes "city and county". See California Penal Code 7
- County juvenile facilities: means county juvenile halls, juvenile homes, ranches, or camps, and other juvenile detention facilities. See California Penal Code 4481
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
