This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the Orange
County Regional Justice Facilities Act.
The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the
existing state of overcrowding in jails and court facilities in
Orange County is so great as to significantly impede the
administration of justice and create a situation wherein persons who
are a danger to society are required to be released into that society
for lack of adequate facilities to house them. The Legislature
further finds and declares that it is in the public interest to
create the Orange County Regional Justice Facilities Commission so
that regional justice facility needs may be addressed in an
expeditious and appropriate fashion on a countywide basis. The
Legislature further finds and declares that it is in the public
interest to allow the voters to approve a general tax for the general
governmental purposes of the Orange County Regional Justice
Facilities Commission.
