Terms Used In California Penal Code 4497.12

  • county: includes "city and county". See California Penal Code 7
  • 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
  • state: when applied to the different parts of the United States, includes the District of Columbia and the territories, and the words "United States" may include the district and territories. See California Penal Code 7

(c) Costs eligible for state funding and as county match shall be those defined in applicable existing sections of the County Correctional Facilities Capital Expenditure Fund regulations, which regulations may be amended.
