WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE

SECTION 1805-1806

1805. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this article
to protect society from crime and delinquency by helping counties
maintain and improve local correctional systems and crime and
delinquency prevention programs by encouraging the continued
availability of county operated juvenile correctional facilities, and
by providing funding for services required or authorized by Chapter
1071 of the Statutes of 1976. It is also the intent of the
Legislature to reduce the administrative costs of justice system
programs, to provide maximum flexibility in meeting local needs in
the delivery of services, and to enhance justice system planning and
coordination efforts at the state and local levels.

1806. (a) From any state moneys made available to it for the
program, commencing with fiscal year 1983-84, the Department of the
Youth Authority shall provide funds to counties for the following
purposes:
(1) To develop and maintain local programs for minors and adults
who are eligible for commitment to the Department of Corrections or
to the Department of the Youth Authority or who are considered to be
at a high risk of becoming eligible for commitment.
(2) To maintain local programs for minors who have been found to
be persons described by Section 602 and who are committed to a
juvenile hall or to a juvenile home, ranch, camp, or forestry camp
established pursuant to Sections 850 and 880.
(3) To develop and maintain programs to prevent crime and
delinquency by persons who are not wards of the juvenile court or
under court ordered probation supervision or serving a sentence as a
result of a conviction in a court of criminal jurisdiction.
(4) To maintain programs or services required or authorized by
Chapter 1071 of the Statutes of 1976.
(5) To provide funding for necessary county administrative
expenses for the county justice system block grant program.
(b) In utilizing funds for the purposes set forth in subdivision
(a), counties shall give primary consideration to programs which are
local alternatives to the commitment of minors and adults to the
Department of Corrections or the Department of the Youth Authority.
(c) Funds granted to counties under this article shall not be used
for capital construction; for travel outside of the State of
California; for law enforcement investigation or apprehension
purposes; for the expense of prosecution or defense, except to the
extent required by Chapter 1071 of the Statutes of 1976; or for the
costs of confinement or detention in a jail, juvenile hall, or other
secure lockup prior to sentencing or disposition by the court.
